[verse 1]
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 up G Here we are just trying to be neighbors Em You in bed, me still with the painters D Smoking at the window, at the magpies A Trying to work out what's the truth and G Gm what's the lie 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'll try to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend D I'm not saying that we can't be running mates F#m 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 A# It's a choice you want to take
[chorus]
A Here we are just trying to be G Oh, here we are just trying not to D Fall in love F#m 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 A Get too close
[verse 2]
D Come on rant 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 steam and mac 'n cheese Gm (Hold the tray above your knees)
We can listen to the radio
D I'm not saying I will kick you downright F#m Stick with me and oh we end up bein' like G There are other ways to feel you out Gm (I can look into your soul)
I can feed you all the love
D I've been savin' up Am Oh, and don't let me run Em I'm a-digging my way in Gm I just like the game you're playing
[chorus]
A Here we are just trying to be G Oh, here we are just trying not to D Fall in love F#m 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 A Get too close
[outro]
D I'm not saying that we can't be dreamers A Here we are just trying to be neighbors G We can lie awake and watch the sky Gm Forget the truth, forget the lie D For the moment you're my best friend
