Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Palm mute)
Have you ever loved someone you couldn't have
that didn't love you back
that took you for granted all these years
drowning in these lonely tears.
Back breaking efforts just to make it work
then i end up hurt
asking myself questions just to get through each day.
Chorus
Full Strums)
Why do i still love you
why does my heart still beat for you
why do i stay so true
even though we're just friends
Verse 2
Palm mute)
I hold on tight, always you'll be in my sight
i'll be here forever, no matter day or night.
For the rest of my life, i will be by your side
where will you be waiting for me?
Chorus
Full Strums)
Why do i still love you
why does my heart still beat for you
why do i stay so true
even though we're just friends.
Bridge
Light strums and finger picking)
You're still taken and i'm still alone
i'll be here when he's gone
i'll take your hand and hold you tight
i'll take what he's done and make it right.
(Build with palm mute steady strums to the beat)
I'll love you til death, and give you the world
i'll be a better man when you're my girl (2x)
Chorus
Full strums)
Why do i still love you
why does my heart still beat for you
why do i stay so true
even though we're just friends
even though we're just friends
even though we're just friends.
