B             F#                E              B
Now i rest my head from such an endless dreary time
B                   A              E             B
A time of hopes and happiness that had you on my mind
B                       F#              E                B
Those days are gone and now it seems as if i'll get some rest
B                     A                    E                B
But now and then i'll see you again and it puts my heart to test

   E               F#                B
So when are all my problems going to end?
    E             F#             B  G#  E               A              E
I'm understanding now that we are only friends, to this day i'm asking why

I still think about you

B              F#          E              B
As the days go on I wonder will this ever end?
B                 A                 E                    B
I find it hard to keep control when you're with your boyfriend
B                  F#          E                B
I do don't mind if all I am is just a friend to you
B                 A                        E              B
But all I want to know right now is if you think about me too

   E               F#                B
So when are all my problems going to end?
    E             F#             B  G#  E               A              E
I'm understanding now that we are only friends, to this day i'm asking why

I still think about you
