• Difficulty: Beginner

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
                        Am
We had a moment to ourselves
                         C
Yeah it’s been a while, I know
                         F
Was never with somebody else
That came close before you
                      Am
But I had to let you go in the end
     F
And time has done its turn
         G
Putting distance between us
              C        Am
But here we go again, and by now
                     F
I should be used to dancing in the dark
              G
And tripping over each other
           C
I need to leave you here
               Am
But I’m still learning how

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
      F       Am
And just like that
            G       Am - G
You’re haunting me slowly
F         Am        G
Terrified to not be
   Am - G   F
Your only onе
  N.C
(But I’m no longer)
   G
Anyone (And now I wonder)

🎸 Chorus:
 F
Arе we just friends
 G
Are we gonna pretend
             C
That nothing happened
In the end
     Am          G
I’m wondering if we ever came
F
Close to more than just friends
         G
Is this how you and I both end
         C
Forever orbiting each other
         Am          G              F
And yet never quite colliding into love

🎸 Verse 2:
                               Am
We’ve been strangers for some time
                          C
But I knew you like the back of my hand
                            F
I love and hate you all at once
I had hoped that we’d make it
                     Am
But I had to let you go in the end
     F
In favor of the only one
          G
Who still holds your heart
                C            Am
The one you couldn’t give to me
                     F
And all I took were pieces of the love
             G
You used to have
                     C                           Am
The love that I had settled for until it dawned on me

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
      F       Am
That even though this is
G         Am - G
What I’ve wanted
F              Am
Gravity won’t let me
G         Am - G  F
Into your orbit, no (Can’t occupy it)
              G
Now I don’t know (Can’t occupy it)

🎸 Chorus:
 F
Are we just friends
 G
Are we gonna pretend
                C
That nothing happened
In the end
      Am         G
I’m wondering if we ever came
 F
Close to more than just friends
 G
Is this how you and I both end
         C
Forever orbiting each other
          Am           G
And yet never quite colliding into love

🎸 Bridge:
      Dm                     Am
I’m sorry if I still write about you
    C                           F
I apologize for putting you in song
      Dm                       Am
I surrender to the forces of nature
                   C
Just go ahead and chase for the girl
                     F
That you loved all along
                F
And maybe this time
                      G
I’ll learn to let you go

🎸 Chorus:
F
Are we just friends
G
Are we gonna pretend
                C
That nothing happened
In the end
      Am         G
I’m wondering if we ever came
F
Close to more than just friends
         G
Is this how you and I both end
           C
Forever orbiting each other
          Am           G
And yet never quite colliding into love

🎸 Outro:
       F
Can I make it with you
       G
If I orbit around you
         C
Will I lose me in you
       Am    G
If I orbit around you
       F
Can I make it with you
       G
If I orbit around you
        C
Will I just break in two
      Am
If I orbit around you
       F
Can I make it with you
       G
If I orbit around you
        C
Will I lose me in you
      Am
If I orbit around you
       F
Can I make it with you
      G
If I orbit around you
        C
Will I just break in two
  N.C.
If I orbit around you
