Best Friend

	  		
G 
Here we are just trying to be flatmates 
Em 
Here we are just trying to sophisticate 
D 
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love 
A 
Be a human, trying not to stand out 

G 
Here we are just trying to be neighbours 
Em 
You in bed, me still with the painters 
D 
Smoking out the window, at the magpies 
A                                                          G 
Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie 

Gm 

D 
I'm not saying that we will be best friends 
A 
But I took you dancing at the weekend 
G 
Tell your folks in bed you had to play 
Gm 
I tried to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend 

D 
I'm not saying that we can't be running mates 
A 
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace 
G                                                Gm 
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips 
                                                           D 
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips 

Am 
So you won't want to miss 
Em 
All the shapes that can make 
        Gm 
It's a choice you want to take 

A 
Here we are just trying to be 
G 
Oh, here we are just trying not to 
D 
Fall in love 
F# 
It's only human not to want to be alone 

G 
Here we are just trying to be 
      Gm 
Oh, here we are just trying not to 
D 
Get too close 

A 

D 
Come around to me, I'll be your lock and fold 
A 
Tell me all your dirt, I'll never tell a soul 
G 
Tell me over steaming mac n cheese 
              Gm 
Hold the tray upon your knees, we can listen to the radio 

D 
I'm not saying I will cook you dinner 
A 
Stick with me and you'll only end up thinner 
G 
There are other ways to fill you up 
        Gm 
I can look into your soul, I can feed you all the love 

D 
I’ve been saving up 
Am 
Oh, and don't get me wrong 
Em 
I'm digging my way in 
Gm 
I just like the game we’re playing 

A 
Here we are just trying to be 
G 
Oh, here we are just trying not to 
D 
Fall in love 
F# 
It's only human not to want to be alone 

G 
Here we are just trying to be 
Gm 
Oh, here we are just trying not to 
D 
Get too close 

A 

D 
I’m not saying that we can’t be dreamers 
A 
Here we are just trying to be neighbours 
G 
We can lie awake and watch the sky 
             Gm 
Forget the truth, forget the lie for the moment you’re my best friend
