[Verse 1]
Am
I miss your brain, the way you think
Em
But I don't miss the way you used to drink
Am
I miss our talks, the universal law
Em
You had a way of seeing through my flaws
Am
It's so confusing, I thought I met my match
Em
An intellectual with talent, what a catch
Am
You always said we'd be better off as friends
Em
It was inevitable that it would end
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Your picture's off my wall
Em
But I'm still waiting for your call
C
And every man that walks through that door
Em
Will be compared to you forevermore
[Chorus]
C/Am D
Still I have no regrets
Bm Em D (Optional)
'Cause I survived the biggest test
C D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
Bm Em
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
[Verse 2]
Am
I miss the countryside where we used to lay
Em
The smell of roses on a lovely summer day
Am
You made me laugh, you had a clever wit
Em
I miss the good times: I don't miss all of it
Am
You'd write me poetry, you had a way with words
Em
You said you wanted more than just a pretty girl
Am
Maybe I challenged you a little bit too much
Em
We couldn't have two drivers on the clutch
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Your picture's off my wall
Em
But I'm still waiting for your call
C
And every man that walks through that door
Em
Will be compared to you forevermore
[Chorus]
C D
Still I have no regrets
Bm Em
'Cause I survived the biggest test
C D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
Bm Em D
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
C D
Still I have no regrets
Bm Em
'Cause I survived the biggest test
C D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
Bm Em
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
[Bridge]
Em/C D
It's so sad that it had to end
Em/Bm Em D
I lost my very best friend
Em/C D
Not gonna candy coat it
Em/Bm Em D
And I don't want to pretend
Em/C D
I put away your letters
Em/Bm Em D
Saved the best ones that I had
Em/C D
It wasn't always perfect
Em/Bm Em
But it wasn't always bad
[Chorus]
C D
Still I have no regrets
Bm Em D
'Cause I survived the biggest test
C D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
Bm Em D
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
C D
Still I have no regrets
Bm Em D
'Cause I survived the biggest test
C D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
Bm Em
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
[Outro]
Em
It's so sad that it had to end
I miss your brain, the way you think
But I don't miss the way you used to drink
I miss our talks, the universal law
You had a way of seeing through my flaws
It's so confusing, I thought I met my match
An intellectual with talent, what a catch
You always said we'd be better off as friends
It was inevitable that it would end
Your picture's off my wall
But I'm still waiting for your call
And every man that walks through that door
Will be compared to you forevermore
Still I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
I miss the countryside where we used to lay
The smell of roses on a lovely summer day
You made me laugh, you had a clever wit
I miss the good times: I don't miss all of it
You wrote me poetry, you had a way with words
You said you wanted more than just a pretty girl
Maybe I challenged you a little bit too much
We couldn't have two drivers on the clutch
Your picture's off my wall
But I'm still waiting for your call
And every man that walks through that door
Will be compared to you forevermore
Still I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
Yet I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
It's so sad that it had to end
I lost my very best friend
Not gonna candy coat it
And I don't want to pretend
I put away your letters
Saved the best ones that I had
It wasn't always perfect
But it wasn't always bad
Still I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
Yet I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I will not lie and I can't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
It's so sad that it had to end
