Verse 1:

Bb                           Dm
I said I wish you never knew
               Am
How I feel for you
                     Gm                    Bb
It's hard to be just friends now after all



                     Dm
I said I wanted more
                          Am
He said how can you be so sure
                 Gm
I'm not sure I'm faithful after all

Chorus:

Bb
              F            C               Bb
But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand
              F             C                 Bb
He says I can hold it but remember we're just friends
      F                     C              Bb      F
And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied
      C               Bb
After all he keeps me alive

Verse 2:

                  Dm
I'm happy when he smiles
            Am
If only for awhile
                    Gm                     Bb
It's hard to just ignore a face like that
                    Dm
I wish he was everywhere
                          Am
I wish his hand was in my hair
                       Gm
I would have been less lonely for awhile



Chorus:

Bb
              F            C               Bb
But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand
              F             C                 Bb
He says I can hold it but remember we're just friends
      F                     C              Bb      F
And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied
      C               Bb
After all he keeps me alive
      F                     C              Bb      F
And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied
      C               Bb      F
After all he keeps me alive
      C               Bb      F
After all he keeps me alive
      C               Bb
After all he keeps me alive
