Introduction:

difficulty
very hard |||||
              G  Am7    G  C9  Fm    C  
Em7                         Am    Em7    Am              D  
I took each word she said as gospel truth
Dm                    E7         G/B            Em7      Am  
The way a silly little child would
Em7                 Am            Em7                    D  
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth
Dm                    G      Em7         Dm         Dm7      Am  
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood
F                         Am                                            Am  
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it
            G                    C      C/B  A7      Dm7  D7/9    G5  
But now it's too late
F7+      D7/9                                              G                            G7  
  I    thought I'd found the girl of my dreams,
Cm7/9          Cm7/9         C                     G#7  G7  
  Now it seems, this is how the story         ends
G            Am7                  G                 C9  
She's gonna turn me down and say
  Fm                    C              Dm7      G  
"Can't we be friends"
F7+  D7/9                                      G                            G7  
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Cm7/9        Cm7/9              C                G#7    G7  
Not for long,    I    can see the way this ends
G            Am7                  G                 C9         Fm                    C  
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends"
F                       Fm             Dm7    C      G        C  
Why    should    I care though she gave me the    air
C            E7                 A            Em7                            A7  
Why should I cry,            heave a sigh
A7                 D7/9                 Em7      D7/9    G  
And wonder why, and wonder         why
F7+      D7/9                                            G                                 G7  
  I thought I found the gal I could trust
Cm7/9             Cm7/9         C                G#7    G7  
Whatta bust, this is how the story ends
G              Am7                       G                    C9            Fm                          C  
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends"
