[Am] [F] [Em] [F]
[Am]Run [F]me in circles, like you [Em]always [F]do
[Am]Mess with [F]me on purpose, so I’ll hang [Em]onto [F]you


[Am]I know  what you mean [F]when you act like that, but you don’t know it’s breaking my heart
[Em]Said that it was just [F]never gonna happen, then almost kissed me in the dark
[Am]Every time we talk [F]it just hurts so bad, ’cause I don’t even know what we are
[Em]I don’t even know [F]where to start, but I can play the part


[Am]We say [F]we’re friends, but I’m catching you across the room
[Em]It makes [F]no sense ’cause were fighting over what we do
[Am]And there’s [F]no way that I’ll end up being with you
But [Em]friends don’t [F]look at friends that way. Friends don’t look at friends that way


[Am]Can’t [F]even tell if, I love or [Em]hate [F]you more
You’ve [Am]got [F]me addicted and I can’t [Em]tell who’s [F]keeping score


[Am]I know  what you mean [F]when you act like that, but you don’t know it’s breaking my heart
[Em]Said that it was just [F]never gonna happen, then almost kissed me in the dark
[Am]Every time we talk [F]it just hurts so bad, ’cause I don’t even know what we are
[Em]I don’t even know [F]where to start, but I can play the part


[Am]We say [F]we’re friends, but I’m catching you across the room
[Em]It makes [F]no sense ’cause were fighting over what we do
[Am]And there’s [F]no way that I’ll end up being with you
But [Em]friends don’t [F]look at friends that way.


[Am]Friends don’t [F]look at friends that way, [Em]friends don’t [F]look at friends that way
[Am]Friends don’t [F]look at friends that way, [Em]hmm, [F]hey


[Am]We say [F]we’re friends, but I’m catching you across the room
[Em]It makes [F]no sense ’cause were fighting over what we do
[Am]And there’s [F]no way that I’ll end up being with you
But [Em]friends don’t [F]look at friends that way. Friends don’t look at friends that way
