Best Friend chords by Belle And Sebastian

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: G

Difficulty: Novice

G
Here we are just trying to be flatmates
Em
Here we are just trying to sophisticate
D
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love
A
Be a human, trying not to stand out

G

Here we are just trying to be neighbours
Em
You in bed, me still with the painters
D
Smoking out the window, at the magpies
A                                                          G
Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie

Gm

D
I'm not saying that we will be best friends
A
But I took you dancing at the weekend
G
Tell your folks in bed you had to play
Gm
I tried to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend

D
I'm not saying that we can't be running mates
A
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace
G                                                Gm
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips
                                                           D
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips

Am
So you won't want to miss
Em
All the shapes that can make
        Gm
It's a choice you want to take

A
Here we are just trying to be
G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
F#
It's only human not to want to be alone

G
Here we are just trying to be
      Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Get too close

A

D
Come around to me, I'll be your lock and fold
A
Tell me all your dirt, I'll never tell a soul
G
Tell me over steaming mac n cheese
              Gm
Hold the tray upon your knees, we can listen to the radio

D
I'm not saying I will cook you dinner
A
Stick with me and you'll only end up thinner
G
There are other ways to fill you up
        Gm
I can look into your soul, I can feed you all the love

D
I’ve been saving up
Am
Oh, and don't get me wrong
Em
I'm digging my way in
Gm
I just like the game we’re playing

A
Here we are just trying to be
G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
F#
It's only human not to want to be alone

G
Here we are just trying to be
Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Get too close

A

D
I’m not saying that we can’t be dreamers
A
Here we are just trying to be neighbours
G
We can lie awake and watch the sky
             Gm
Forget the truth, forget the lie for the moment you’re my best friend
