  3    -3*   -5* -5* -5 -3*
Years we’ve been to-geth-er
  5   5    5   -3* 3* 3
Seems we can’t get a-long
-3* 5  -3*  5  -5 -3*
No mat-ter what I do
-3*  5  -3*  5   -5 -3*
It don’t ap-peal to you

If we can’t be sweet-hearts
-5*  -5*  -5  -5 -3*
This much you can do

Please don't talk a-bout me when I'm gone
-3*  3* 3    3    -1*   -2   -2*  
Oh, hon-ey though our friend-ship

Here's a kiss
