Best Friend

[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
