You [Bb] came in my home and [F/Bb] took from me
[ch]Eb5/Bb[/ch] Bb
All that I had to give
Bb [ch]Bb/A[/ch] Eb/G Bb/F
I thought that we would be good friends
[ch]C7/E[/ch] F
For as long as we should live
I [Bb] had some past ex - [F/Bb] perience
[ch]Eb5/Bb[/ch] Bb
With people just like you
Bb [ch]Bb/A[/ch] Eb/G Bb/F
But I never thought you were that kind
So [Eb] what was [F] I to [Bb] do

You were my friend, you were my friend
Gm [ch]C7/E[/ch] F Bbsus4 - Bb - F
You were my friend, you were my friend
How could you [Gm] let me do - [C/E7] own? You were my [F] friend[Bbsus4] [-][Bb][-][F][/]
[Bb] How can you stand and [F/Bb] lie to me
[ch]Eb5/Bb[/ch] Bb
And look me in the face
Bb [ch]Bb/A[/ch] Eb/G Bb/F
I wish I knew what strange dis - ease
[ch]C7/E[/ch] F
Could make you act that way

[ch]Eb5/Bb[/ch] Bb
I've known you for so long

I [Bb] wish we could for - [F/Bb] get it all
