I have a friend

She's just a friend

I tried to comfort and defend

I gave her what you might call advice

But nothing like that comes without a price

The rumour was a cruel surprise

And she dissolved before my eyes

.................................................[G/f#].....

I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined

I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine

..................................[G/f#].....

There's no use in shedding any tears

He's no good to you the way he is

........[G/f#].....................

He's beyond forgiving and believing

Half of his heart is torn like paper

..................................[G/f#]......

It's sweet as the syrup from the maple

But that's not the part of him you're leaving
