FRIENDS
by John Michael Montgomery

INTRO: A        D  E  A

                                   D
You say you want to be friends
E                                   A
That's a newly sharpened blade
                                 D
That's a dagger to the heart
E                            A
Of the promises we made
                            F#m                  E 
There's a chapter full of pain A season full of rain 
               D                  E     E7
A dark and stormy night spent all alone

      A               A/G#          F#m
Ch: Friends get scattered by the wind
      D                     E                  F#m   D E
      Tossed into the waves, lost for years on end
      A          A/G#          F#m
      Friends slowly drift apart
      D                            E                     F#m
      They give away their hearts, maybe call you now and then
      D               E         A    A          D E  A 
      But you wanna be just friends

                             D
You say you love me very much
E                                    A
And you'll always hold me dear
 				   D
Those are the sweetest words
E                  A
I never wanna hear
                            F#m
What's a love without desire
                      E
A flame without a fire
G#dim7
Can't warm me late at night
D                       E     E7  
When I need you most

Repeat CHORUS

A          D              A
Friends slowly drift apart
        D               E         G#dim7                         F#m
They give away their hearts, maybe call you now and then
D				Bm
Darling can' t you see, This is killing me
D              E       A      A    D  E  A
We can never be just friends.
