Verse
G# Fm
When you stare from across the room
C# G#
I can't tell if you're lookin' at me
C# D#
Or just lookin' through
C# G#
The others celebrate the end of the work week
C# A#7
But it's Tuesday for me and you
C# G#
To say that we're just friends would never do us justice
C# D#
We're a couple of gems
G#
Swept into the dustbin
[Verse 2]
G# Fm
When you pay your respects to the past
C# G#
I can't tell if it's a nervous laugh
C# D#
And you think we could've made it last
C# G#
The others frail and they cut of their tails
C# A#7
Their dreams dance to death in their glass
C# G#
We're more than just dreamers when we ourselves believe it
C# D#
We have the rest of our lives
G#
Just gotta reach out and steal it
[Bridge]
Fm C# E
Ooh-ooh, you're sellin' me up the river
B E
I can't seem to remember
B C#
That you said you just needed a friend
D# G#
Just a friend
[Verse 3]
G# Fm
When you speak are you holdin' back
C# G#
It's all I've asked between now and the past
C# D#
I'd love to hear you answer that
C# G#
They'll turn on the lights and we'll say our goodnights
C# A#7
Though they're not good enough to last
C# G#
While I'm tossin' and turnin' babe is your love burnin'
C# D#
Or have we laid it to rest
C# D#
Are we really just friends
[Outro]
C# D#
Oh, are we really just friends
(repeat and end on E)
