(ella singing)
[Verse]
Em7 A13 I thought I'd found the man of my dreams Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 Now it seems, this is how the story ends A13 He's going to turn me down and say Dmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 "Can't we be friends?"
[Verse]
Em7 A13 I thought for once it couldn't go wrong Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 Not for long! I can see the way this ends A13 He's going to turn me down and say Dmaj7 D7 "Can't we be friends?"
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 G#dim Never again, Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 Through with love, through with men Am7 C7 B7 They play their game without shame Em7 A13 A7+5 A7 And who's to blame?
[Verse]
Em7 A13 I thought I'd found a man I could trust Dmaj7 Bm7 F#m7 Fm7 Em7 What a bust, this is how the sto-ry ends A13 He's going to turn me down and say Dmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 "Can't we be friends?"
(louis singing)
[Verse]
Em7 A13 Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 What a laugh, this is how our story ends A13 I'll let her turn me down and say Dmaj7 "Can't we be friends?"
[Verse]
Em7 A13 I acted like a kid out of school Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 What a fool, now I see this is the end A13 I'll let her turn me down and say Dmaj7 D7 "Can't we be friends?"
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 G#dim Oh, why should I care? Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 Though she gave me the air Am7 C7 B7 Why should I cry, ever sigh Em7 A13 A7+5 A7 And wonder why
[Verse]
Em7 A13 Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 What a flop, this is how the story ends A13 She's gonna turn me down and say Dmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 "Can't we be friends?"
