I Don't Want To Be Your Friend chords by Pat Benatar

Dm
Did you see me last night
                                 F
I was there in the dark
                            Gm                        Am
I saw her look at you, the way I used to do
                                    Dm
When I still had your heart.


I watched you take her hand
There was love in your eyes
I remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye

                                       Bb
I don’t want to be your friend
                                     Dm
I just want to be your lover
                                   Bb
I don’t think I can pretend
                                          F       Am
That you mean nothing to me
                                          Bb         Gm
It’s hard enough to say good-bye
                                         Dm
Even when you know it’s over
             Bb                   C
I don’t want to be your friend
                             Dm
I want to be your lover


                                  Dm                                  F
Am I gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow
                                      Gm
When you lie there with her
                              Am                         Dm
Does my memory stir, any part of you now

I know that I should concede, face the truth and all that
I know I should realize I’m not a part of your life anymore,
But I can’t

                                      Bb
I don’t want to be your friend
                                     Dm
I just want to be your lover
                                   Bb
I don’t think I can pretend
                                          F       Am
That you mean nothing to me
                                          Bb         Gm
It’s hard enough to say good-bye
                                         Dm
Even when you know it’s over
            Bb                    C
I don’t want to be your friend
                             Dm
I want to be your lover

Bridge:
                                  C
And when I think I’ve had enough
                                         Dm
And I just can’t stand the pain
                                   C
I reminisce about the way it felt
                               Am
To have you every day
                                            Bb
You know that every time I hear your voice
                  F        Am
I still get a thrill

And there’s nothing I can do about it
