I believe the 4th C is played x32010, while the rest are x32033

Chorus

You say there is no other who treats you like I do

But I've talked to your father and mother

They both say it's through

Your heading back to the east coast

In a brand new car

All my letters returned unopened

Just to see how you are

As you say

Why can't we be friends

Because I'm not ready

You say the world isn't over

It's just a different place

Though you're no longer around me

You send pain by the case

And I guess this thing wasn't working

So ending it was best

But I just can't seem to maneuver

This weight off my chest

Why can't we be

Why can't we be....we be friends

Because I'm not ready

You say there is no other who treats you like I do

But I've found myself with another

And you've found someone else too

The pain is now in recession

And lucid are my thoughts

The you whisper for me to come closer

And it seems like you forgot that you said

Why can't we be friends

Why must this be the end
