Let me tell you about a friend,

She con - tends she will always love me--------,|  /  /  /  |  /

               Ebm      Bbm7           Ebm
It's this a - bility to lie, and de - ceive,

         Bbm7           Abm7    Ab7sus4     Abm7        Bbm7
That has lost me com - pletely-----------!|  /  /  /  |  /


Ebm      Bbm7       Ebm      Bbm7      Abm7    Ab7sus4    Abm7       Bbm7

I could re - mind her of the facts, make her calm down, and re - lax,

    Abm7             Ab7sus4      Abm7
But, ...why bother? |  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  |

Bbm7              Ebm          Bbm7          Ebm             Bbm7
      It's the shallowest de - fense, to my utter astonish - ment,

    I'm opti - mistically in - clined, given time, she'll change her mind,

       Abm7     Ab7sus4     Abm7
It's...unlikely---------! |  /  /  /  |
