[Intro]
E7  D#7  Dmaj7    .
 
(ella singing)
 
[Verse]
Em7                     A13
I thought I'd found the man of my dreams
Dmaj7         Bm7                   Em7
Now it seems, this is how the story ends
              A13
He's going to turn me down and say
Dmaj7                  F#m7 Fm7
"Can't we be friends?"
 
[Verse]
Em7                   A13
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Dmaj7         Bm7                    Em7
Not for long! I can see the way this ends
              A13
He's going to turn me down and say
Dmaj7                 D7
"Can't we be friends?"
 
[Bridge]
Gmaj7     G#dim
Never    again,
             Dmaj7   Em7          Dmaj7
Through with love,   through with men
                Am7      C7  B7
They play their game without shame
             Em7    A13 A7+5 A7
And who's to blame?
 
[Verse]
Em7                   A13
I thought I'd found a man I could trust
Dmaj7        Bm7             F#m7 Fm7  Em7
What a bust, this is how the sto-ry   ends
              A13
He's going to turn me down and say
Dmaj7                 F#m7 Fm7
"Can't we be friends?"
 
(louis singing)
 
[Verse]
Em7                       A13
Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff
Dmaj7         Bm7                   Em7
What a laugh, this is how our story ends
             A13
I'll let her turn me down and say
Dmaj7
"Can't we be friends?"
 
[Verse]
Em7            A13
I acted like a kid out of school
Dmaj7        Bm7                   Em7
What a fool, now I see this is the end
             A13
I'll let her turn me down and say
Dmaj7                 D7
"Can't we be friends?"
 
[Bridge]
    Gmaj7        G#dim
Oh, why should I care?
           Dmaj7   Em7    Dmaj7
Though she gave    me the air
             Am7  C7   B7
Why should I cry, ever sigh
           Em7    A13 A7+5 A7
And wonder why
 
[Verse]
     Em7                    A13
Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop
Dmaj7        Bm7                   Em7
What a flop, this is how the story ends
            A13
She's gonna turn me down and say
Dmaj7                 F#m7 Fm7
"Can't we be friends?"

Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be,
Fm7          Em7          A13         Dmaj7
Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends?
