“Do You Wanna Be Friends?” / newly unrequited

                       B
"Do you wanna be friends?"
                     E
I mean I wanna be more
       B                                E
But if friends is how I get to have you, then sure
 
B
I'll be quiet in my pining
E
I won't tell you about the pain
B                                  E
I'll be silent in the night when I know that you're asleep
                              B     E
But I wanna ask you if you're awake
 
 
                     B
And so we'll be friends
         E
And I'll be okay
         B
The world won't end If you don't love me
                     E
Even if it feels that way
 
B
I'll be quiet in my pining
E
I won't tell you about the pain
B                                  E
I'll be silent in the night when all I wanna do
                                            B     E
is tell you how pretty I thought you looked today
 
G#m     G#m7           F#m
I don't know where the line is
       E
So I'll stay on my side even when you're not on yours
  G#m7
I'll tread lightly
   F#m            E
In case I might be breaking a boundary
 
We used to break before
 
                         B
And so I'll be your best friend
          E
Simple as that
F#       B
And when you play pretend
 
That things are the way they were
              E
I won't flirt back
 
     B
No, I'll be quiet in my pining
E
I won't tell you about the pain
B                                    Emaj7
I'll be silent in the night when you text me
E                          B
And ask, "Hey, are you awake?"
 
E F# B
 
 
B
 
B             B
I know I said we could be friends
B                           B
I'm sorry I went back on my word
B
But please know I did try
B
I just hadn't realized
B                                     B
How bad seeing you be fine without me was going to hurt
 
B                 B
I was devastated, it was humiliating
B
Because you never owed me anything
E
Much less reciprocation
B
Love newly unrequited
B
It made me villanize you
B
I was so hurt
             E
It was easier to be angry than to be sad
 
B
 
                   B
So we can't be friends
                B
But not because I don't like you
            B
We can't be friends
                       B
Because of how much I do
