 I have always needed somebody, girl

 Locked in a photograph

 We'll be the lovers that never were

 I hang patiently on every word  you send

 Will we ever be much more than just friends?

 As for you, you sit there playing this game

 You keep me waiting when

 For as long as the trees

G           Bb           D  D7/F#
 Throw down blossoms and leaves

G  Bb              D
 I know there will be

 A parade of unpainted dreams

 And I know dear how much it's gonna hurt

 If you still refuse to get your hands dirty

 So you, you must tell me something, I love you

 Say goodbye or anything

 Time's at an end

 If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends
