====== Song Of Our So-Called Friend ======

||:
[capo=5]

Re[E]member when our so-called friend would [F#m]not call out to you
while tumbling [C#m]loosely out a hole punched t[A]hrough your home? [Asus2]
It's [E]pretty clear, though you could hear, you [F#m]truly finally knew,
in time, he'd [C#m]tell his tale the way he'd lik[A]e it told. [Asus2]

>>Now he [C#m]isn't on the [A]phone, and his story [F#m]might as well be [A]so.

?Well, [E]loving is as loving does, and [F#m]I'd say we should know,
?because we [C#m]both have loved, have lost, and [A]are alone. [Asus2]
?Your [E]face's falling tears, to me they're [F#m]lovely and they're dear,
?though you don't [C#m]love me and it's clear that I will [A]never see you [Asus2]in my arms.

>>There's [C#m]no room in you[A]r heart for [F#m]even this finely-sharpe[A]ned dart;
>>al[E]though I had start[F#m]ed to think there might [A]be hope, it isn't [E]so.

>So [C#m]wake up, make up so[F#m]me new song aga[A]in around the sa[E]me tune.
>The water [C#m]cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it be[F#m]nds, the summer ends;
>our so-called [A]friend doesn't [E]need you.

?So proceed [E]out the door and down the street. De[F#m]cember's lying near,
?but in the [C#m]oven's heat this house is now a [A]home. [Asus2]
?[E]Sixty days of trips and stays you [F#m]took to tell me, dear,
?that you can[C#m]not love me because you secret[A]ly still love a [Asus2]stone.

>>Although I [C#m]put my lips to you[A]r face, trying to [F#m]push his kiss out of [A]its place,
>>al[E]though my heart star[F#m]ted to race, now it [A]has slowed, I'll let it [E]go.
