Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Did you see me last night

 I was there in the dark

 I saw her look at you, the way I used to do

 When I still had your heart.

I watched you take her hand

There was love in your eyes

I remember when you looked at me that way too

Before we said good-bye

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I just want to be your lover

 I don’t think I can pretend

 That you mean nothing to me

 It’s hard enough to say good-bye

 Even when you know it’s over

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I want to be your lover

 Am I gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow

 When you lie there with her

 Does my memory stir, any part of you now

I know that I should concede, face the truth and all that

I know I should realize I’m not a part of your life anymore,

But I can’t

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I just want to be your lover

 I don’t think I can pretend

 That you mean nothing to me

 It’s hard enough to say good-bye

 Even when you know it’s over

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I want to be your lover

Bridge

 And when I think I’ve had enough

 And I just can’t stand the pain

 I reminisce about the way it felt

 To have you every day

 You know that every time I hear your voice

 I still get a thrill

And there’s nothing I can do about it

Solo

Intro again over verse chords)

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I just want to be your lover

 I don’t think I can pretend

 That you mean nothing to me

 It’s hard enough to say good-bye

 Even when you know it’s over

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I want to be your lover

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I want to be your lover

(slowly)

 I don’t want to be your friend

 I want to be your lover
