[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?"

{Bridge]
Gmaj7        G#dim
Why should I care?

I let him turn me down and say
Dmaj7        C7           B7
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?
