Tom : A
[Primeira Parte]
Am F
I'm slowly learning
C G
That the things you promised me
Am F
Are burning like the embers
C Em
Of a thousand willow trees
Am F
And every single secret
C G
Has been broadcast like TV
Am F
Now all the threads are severed
C Em
That were tying you to me
[Pré-Refrão]
Am F
I thought we were friends
C Em
But now we're enemies
Am F
I thought we were friends
C Em
But now we're enemies
[Refrão 2x]
Am
Pull your knife out of my back
F
Your blood runs black
C
I was just surprised at how you turned
[Próxima Parte]
Em
On me so fast
Am
I let you in
F
I held you close
C
My blood flows like a river 'cause I
Em
Trusted you the most
Am
And now I know it's over
F C G
(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
Am
And now I know it's over
F C G
(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
[Segunda Parte]
Am F
I was so naive
C G
I even let you in my home
Am F C
Took you out for dinner and let you wear
Em
My clothes
Am F
I can't even breathe
C G
I have your scent still in my nose
Am F C
It's like I almost miss you
Em
I should have known
[Pré-Refrão]
Am F
I thought we were friends
[Próxima Parte]
Em
On me so fast
Am
I let you in
F
I held you close
C
My blood flows like a river 'cause I
Em
Trusted you the most
Am
And now I know it's over
F C G
(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
Am
And now I know it's over
F C G
(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)

I thought we were friends
[Próxima Parte]

On me so fast

I let you in

I held you close

My blood flows like a river 'cause I
Em
Trusted you the most
Am
And now I know it's over

(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
Am
And now I know it's over
F C G
(Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
