Can't We Be Friends

Intro: G Am7 Gdim G C9 Fm Fdim 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      Cdim            Am
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it,
   Fdim  G        C   C/B   A7  Gdim   Dm7   D7/9   G5
But now it's too late.
F7M   D7/9                  G           G7
 I  thought I'd found the girl of my dreams,
Cm7/9   Fdim  Cm7/9    C       Edim  G#7 G7
 Now it seems, this is how the sto - ry ends --
G     Am7   Gdim     G       C9
She's gonna turn me down and say,
 Fm   Fdim      C     Edim Dm7 - Fdim -  G
"Can't we be friends?"
F7M D7/9               G           G7
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong,
Cm7/9   Fdim Cm7/9      C     Edim  G#7  G7
Not for long,  I  can see the way this ends --
G     Am7   Gdim     G       C9    Fm   Fdim      C
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
F   Fdim       Fm    Cdim  Dm7  C   G  Fdim  C
Why  should  I care though she gave me the  air,
C     E7       A     Em7           A7
Why should I cry,     heave a sigh,
A7/13-       D7/9       Em7   D7/9  G
And wonder why, and won - der why?
F7M   D7/9                 G             G7
 I thought I found the gal I could trust,
Cm7/9    Fdim  Cm7/9    C     Edim  G#7  G7
Whatta bust, this is how the story ends
G      Am7    Gdim      G        C9     Fm    Fdim       C
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
