G                         C 
I looked at my face this morning 
G                       C   C Am 
I just couldn't comb my hair...... 
Am                     D (Twiddle high E string) 
Ate two candy bars for breakfast 
Am                    D 
Guess I really didn't care 
G                      C 
Had to force myself to wake up 
G                      C   C  Am 
I just had to start my day........ 
Am                      D 
Didn't want to leave my room 
Am                                D 
Didn't want to see the things out there 

G         C                  G     C     G 
Hope this day won't last too long........ 
G         C               G 
Hope that nothing will go wrong 
Am 
It doesn't take all that much 
Am                        F 
To bring me back down again 

G       C           G       C 
I don't know how to be your friend 
G       C           G       C 
I don't know how to be your friend 
G       C           G       Am 
I don't know how to be your friend....... 

( Repeat chords) 

You say that we'll be together 
Friends like us don't fade away 
But it's been a year or so 
I wonder now, where did you go? 
I sit on my bed and wonder 
Try to figure out my mood 
Man, I really hate this morning 
And I think I'm hating you 

I think about the things that you said 
When I felt bad 
Did you keep me hanging around 
Until you found it? 
But you are not nice anymore 
So why don't I just find the door 
Oh, I-I-I don't know how to be your friend 

I don't know how to be your friend...
