#1.
Bb              Eb    Bb       F      Bb
After all we've been, to one another, how can we 
  Eb    Bb              Gm F
become, like sister and brother?
Gm F       Bb          D                Gm   Eb
Darling, I beg of you, if our love must end, ask me 
      Bb          F                  Bb     Eb F
to forget you but don't ask me to be friends.

#2.
Bb              Eb   Bb            F         Bb
After being the one, that you took pride in..I just 
         Eb  Bb                Gm   F
couldn't be, the friend you confide in.
Gm F        Bb          D                  Gm
If it's goodbye for us, we'll never meet again.
Eb           Bb           F                  Bb   
Ask me to forget you..but don't ask me to be friends.

BRIDGE:
Eb             Dm     Cm               Bb
Wanting you so badly..needing you like this.
Eb             Gm   Dm     Gm        Cm        Eb  F
How can I just look at the lips that I used to kiss?

Bb                 Eb    Bb           F
If there's someone else, don't let me see him.
Bb                  Eb    Bb              Gm F
Cause I'll spend my life, wishing I could be him.
Gm F       Bb          D                Gm   Eb
Darling, I beg of you, if our love must end, ask me 
      Bb          F                  Bb     Eb Bb
to forget you but don't ask me to be friends.
