Just Be Friends [dixie flatline]

Dm Am Bb F 

Just be friends

All we gotta do is just be friends

It's time to say goodbye, just be friends

All we gotta do is just be friends

Just be friends, just be friends

Dm Am Bb F 

Suddenly it came to me, just yesterday, early morning,

Like picking up the shattered pieces of a broken glass

Wait, what the hell is hurting me? Running from a wound on my fingertip

Tell me, is this the thing that we both hoped it would become?

Dm Am Bb F

I knew it, sure, I knew it in the bottom of my heart

I knew the choice to make would be the best but also hard

The love I have for me denies it all, repeating all my contradictions over again

But when's the time going to be right to tell it to you?

G7 Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 

So in this world where everything is slowly falling apart

I'm struggling but I know it's the only way

 F9 Bbm7 Am7 A

You try a broken smile, but darling it's fading

I pull out the plug

Dm Am Bb F

Screaming so loudly, that voice is breaking

Rebounding, resounding the echoes though all in vain

Unbolt the lock and take the chains, unraveling their tight hold

You'll see you're free from them and there's nothing left in their absence

Dm Am Bb F

The chances that we've gathered together

Blacked out, disconnecting, so fleeting now

Mumbling, I told you that 'It's just the way that life is'

Somebody cries, the tears flowing down the cheeks that were once so dry

All we gotta do is just be friends

It's time to say goodbye, just be friends

All we gotta do is just be friends

Just be friends, just be friends

Dm Am Bb F

I realised it peacefully, just yesterday, a quiet night

It would be pointless picking up the petals off the ground

There's no way it can ever bloom again, and every one's a death in the palm of my hand

Don't you know that the time we had ran out so long ago?

I still remember what the time of year it was we met

I still remember when I first saw your sweet, gentle smile

Bringing up the past we just want to see pain, trying hard to hurt each other just as bad as we can

Our hearts, our souls are twisted, filled right up with thorns

G7 Bbmaj7--

It's worn so thin but we're still hanging on for what, I don't know

I'm sorry, though we try, I can't change my mind

Please know I still love you, and I don't want to leave you

But darling you should know

Dm Am Bb F

That there's a downpour here in my heart

Dizzy, frozen, my vision is blurry now

Despite everything, every effort that I made  to hold on

The pain is piercing still, tearing a hole right through my heart

The bond that we had, broken in pieces

Dying, ending again each and every day

Goodbye, my darling, that's all it is, it's over and done

We have to part our ways and leave now, without looking back at all

Dm Am Bb F

Just one more time, darling just one more time

If I could have a single wish come true

I'd be born again, and again and again!

To relive those times, the days that we had

Dm Am Bb F

Screaming so loudly, that voice is breaking

Rebounding, resounding the echoes though all in vain

Unbolt the lock and take the chains, unraveling their tight hold

You'll see you're free from them and there's nothing left in their absence

The bond that we had, broken in pieces

Dying, ending again each and every day

Goodbye, my darling, that's all it is, it's over and done

We have to part our ways and leave now, without looking back at all

Darling, it's all over now…

Just be friends

All we gotta do is just be friends

It's time to say goodbye, just be friends

All we gotta do is just be friends

Just be friends, just be friends
