Lyrics

We (G)two were (G7)sweet hearts; but we (C)said good (G)bye;

one with a (D7)hand shake and one (Am)with (G)a sigh.

We two were sweet hearts by a (A7)sa cred vow.

What (Am)are we now?

What (C)are (Bm)we (Bb7)now?

(G7)Just (Cmaj7)friends,

lov ers no (Cm6)more;

just (G)friends,

but not like be (Eb7)fore.

To (Am7)think of what we’ve (D7)been

and (Gmaj7)not to kiss a (G6)gain, seems (G)like pre (A9)tend ing

it is n’t the (D7)end ing.

(G7)Two (Cmaj7)friends

drift ing a (Cm6)part;

two (G)friends,

but one bro ken (Eb7)heart.

We (Am7)loved, we laughed, we (D7)cried,

and (B7)sud den (B)ly love (Em7)died.

The (Em)sto ry (A7)ends,

(A7)and (D)we’re (D13)just (G)friends.

Where (G)are the (G7)sun beams that were (C)in your (G)eyes?

Some times I (D7)won der if they (Am)too (G)were lies.

We, who were lov ers, are now (A7)on ly friends.

That’s (Am)how it ends.

What (C)are (Bm)we (Bb7)now?

(G7)Just (Cmaj7)friends,

lov ers no (Cm6)more;

just (G)friends,

but not like be (Eb7)fore.

To (Am7)think of what we’ve (D7)been

and (Gmaj7)not to kiss a (G6)gain, seems (G)like pre (A9)tend ing

it is n’t the (D7)end ing.

(G7)Two (Cmaj7)friends

drift ing a (Cm6)part;

two (G)friends,

but one bro ken (Eb7)heart.

We (Am7)loved, we laughed, we (D7)cried,

and (B7)sud den (B)ly love (Em7)died.

The (Em)sto ry (A7)ends,

(A7)and (D)we’re (D13)just (G)friends.

(G)friends.

(G7)Just (G)friends.
