(I Could Have Been Your) Best Friend Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Fate [D]is[Am][D][Am]
mighty cruel,
what [D]true love is concerned
[Am]It seems you give out more
than you ever have returned
[D]Lately I have tried to
[Am]make it on my own
An[D]other night has passed,
looks like I'm [B]bound to be alone,
[E]bound to be alone
[Am]Solitude is fine
[D]when you really need it
[Am]When your soul is dry,
sometimes loneliness can feed it
[D]When you need a love,
[Am]there's nothing else you can do
[D]When you need love most,
you know it [B]turns its back on [E]you
Oh, [F#m]I can't make it through
[D]without you[Am]r company
[Esus4]I only wish I knew why[E]
[Am]you won't comfort me
I [D]thought that I could [E]count on you
[F#m]to hear me cryin'[A] out[Am]
[D]I guess that's one c[B]omfort
I will [E]learn to do [Am]without[D][C][Am][D]
I [Am]fall in love too easily
Nev[D]er quite this [F#m]fast
[Am]You are not the first
And, you sure won't be the last
[D]The thing about the situation
[Am]It makes me feel so sa[D]d
[Am]I could have been the be[D]st old friend
That [B]you have [E]ever [Am]had
[D]I c[Am]ould have been the best o[D]ld friend
That you [B]ever, [E]ever [Am]had[D][Am][D]
[Am]I could have been the best old friend
[D]I c[Am]ould have been
the best old [D]friend[Am][D]
[Am]I could have been the best
old [D]friend[Am][D][Am]
[D]
[Am]You
