Lyrics

(D)We can’t play this game an y more, but (Em)can we still be friends?

(D)Things just can’t go on like be fore, but (Em)can we still be friends?

(D)We had some

thing to learn;

now it’s time for the (D)wheel to turn.

(Em7)Grains of sand,

one by one;

be fore you know

(A7)it,

(C)all

(G)gone.

(D)Let’s ad mit we made a mis take, but (Em)can we still be friends?

(D)Heart break’s nev er eas y to take, but (Em)can we still be friends?

(D)It’s a strange,

sad af fair;

some times seems

like we (D)just don’t care.

(Em7)Don’t waste time

feel ing hurt;

we’ve been through hell

(A7)to

(C)geth

(G)er.

(C)old
