Just Be Friends [dixie flatline]

Dm Am Bb F 
Just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
It's time to say goodbye, just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
Just be friends, just be friends

Dm Am Bb F 
Suddenly it came to me, just yesterday, early morning,
Like picking up the shattered pieces of a broken glass
Wait, what the hell is hurting me? Running from a wound on my fingertip
Tell me, is this the thing that we both hoped it would become?

Dm Am Bb F
I knew it, sure, I knew it in the bottom of my heart
I knew the choice to make would be the best but also hard
The love I have for me denies it all, repeating all my contradictions over again
But when's the time going to be right to tell it to you?

G7 Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 
So in this world where everything is slowly falling apart
I'm struggling but I know it's the only way
 F9 Bbm7 Am7 A
You try a broken smile, but darling it's fading
I pull out the plug

Dm Am Bb F
Screaming so loudly, that voice is breaking
Rebounding, resounding the echoes though all in vain
Unbolt the lock and take the chains, unraveling their tight hold
You'll see you're free from them and there's nothing left in their absence

Dm Am Bb F
The chances that we've gathered together
Blacked out, disconnecting, so fleeting now
Mumbling, I told you that 'It's just the way that life is'
Somebody cries, the tears flowing down the cheeks that were once so dry

All we gotta do is just be friends
It's time to say goodbye, just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
Just be friends, just be friends

Dm Am Bb F
I realised it peacefully, just yesterday, a quiet night
It would be pointless picking up the petals off the ground
There's no way it can ever bloom again, and every one's a death in the palm of my hand
Don't you know that the time we had ran out so long ago?

I still remember what the time of year it was we met
I still remember when I first saw your sweet, gentle smile
Bringing up the past we just want to see pain, trying hard to hurt each other just as bad as we can
Our hearts, our souls are twisted, filled right up with thorns

G7 Bbmaj7--
It's worn so thin but we're still hanging on for what, I don't know
I'm sorry, though we try, I can't change my mind
Please know I still love you, and I don't want to leave you
But darling you should know

Dm Am Bb F
That there's a downpour here in my heart
Dizzy, frozen, my vision is blurry now
Despite everything, every effort that I made  to hold on
The pain is piercing still, tearing a hole right through my heart

The bond that we had, broken in pieces
Dying, ending again each and every day
Goodbye, my darling, that's all it is, it's over and done
We have to part our ways and leave now, without looking back at all

Dm Am Bb F
Just one more time, darling just one more time
If I could have a single wish come true
I'd be born again, and again and again!
To relive those times, the days that we had

Dm Am Bb F
Screaming so loudly, that voice is breaking
Rebounding, resounding the echoes though all in vain
Unbolt the lock and take the chains, unraveling their tight hold
You'll see you're free from them and there's nothing left in their absence

The bond that we had, broken in pieces
Dying, ending again each and every day
Goodbye, my darling, that's all it is, it's over and done
We have to part our ways and leave now, without looking back at all

Darling, it's all over now…

Just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
It's time to say goodbye, just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
Just be friends, just be friends
