The Everly Brothers
Don't Ask Me to be Friends (1962)


A5               D5
After all we've been
A5        E5
To one another
A5            D5
How can we become
A5               F#5 E5
Like sister and brother

F#5 E5    D5 A5
Darling, I beg of you
C#5              F#5    E5 D5 
If our love must end
             A5
Ask me to forget you
    E5                            A5       D5   E5 
But don't ask me to be friends


A5               D5
After bein' the one
A5             E5
That you took pride in
A5               D5
I just couldn't be
A5                 F#5  E5
The friend you confide in

F#5 E5   D5   A5
If it's goodbye for us
C#5               F#5     E5 D5 
We'll never meet again
             A5
Ask me to forget you
    E5                            A5       D5   A5
But don't ask me to be friends


{bridge}
D5              C#5
Wanting you so badly
B5               A5
Needing you like this
D5              C#5
How can I just look at
    F#5       B5         B5    E5
The lips that I used to kiss


A5                  D5
If there's someone else
A5            E5
Don't let me see him
A5                   D5
Cause I'll spend my life
A5               F#5 E5
Wishing I could be him


F#5 E5    D5 A5
Darling, I beg of you
C#5              F#5    E5 D5 
If our love must end
             A5
Ask me to forget you
    E5                            A5       D5   A5
But don't ask me to be friends
