verse 1 
A                             F#m 
 I know you thought I'd never be 
       D                Bm 
Really much of anything 
A                       F#m 
 While you were telling me 
  D                       Bm 
I turned against the wind 
A                            F#m 
 And when my eyes started to burn 
    D                     Bm 
You turned your back on me 

Pre-Chorus 
         E 
Well you see I slipped away 
A               Bm 
 Now turn to me 
            E                     A             D        Bm 
’Cause I've done a hundred things   you've only dreamed 

   A                    F#m 
So don’t come crying to me 
D                   Bm 
 Don't come trying again 
A                     F#m              D       Bm 
 No matter how I feel,   don't call us friends 
         E                      A                D   Bm 
'Cause I don't remember anymore   how we used to be 
      E                      A                D    Bm 
No, I don't remember anymore    how I used to feel 
              A 
Don't call us friends. 

verse 2 
A                     F#m 
  And you waited all alone 
         D                 Bm 
For your luck to come along 
      A                                   F#m 
You assumed that things they'd go your way 
         D                 Bm 
It would all just carry on 

Pre-Chorus 
         E 
Well you see I slipped away 
A               Bm 
 Now turn to me 
            E                     A             D        Bm 
’Cause I've done a hundred things   you've only dreamed 

   A                    F#m 
So don’t come crying to me 
D                   Bm 
 Don't come trying again 
A                     F#m              D       Bm 
 No matter how I feel,   don't call us friends 
         E                      A                D   Bm 
'Cause I don't remember anymore   how we used to be 
      E                      A                D    Bm 
No, I don't remember anymore    how I used to feel    Don't call us...

A                     F#m              D       Bm 
 No matter how I feel,   don't call us friends
