VERSE:
Gm                     Bb                             C
 I know that Im just a friend, not what youd call a relation
Gm                      Bb                   C
 Wonder what they would say regarding the situation, oh yeah
F                    Gm         F                     Gm
 Looking forward til next time, I promise that I wont drag my feet
F                   Gm                       INTERLUDE
 Always looking for reasons to walk on your street, oh yeah 

CHORUS:

    Bb                F
Its been so long, its been so long
                Gm       
You think youre on your own, just takin it slow
    C
But something always happens whenever were together, it shows

VERSE 2:

Gm                     Bb                         C
 I feel that Im out of touch, not very good at pretending
Gm                       Bb                          C
 But when you sail in my path, I dont know what Im defending
F                     Gm         F                     Gm        
 Looking forward till next time, I might as well just admit defeat
F                   Gm               INTERLUDE
 Its the bridge to falling I always repeat, oh yeah


While guitar #1 plays the chords, a second guitar fills in on the first two lines of the verse. 
Fill #1 comes right after "...pretending", and Fill #2 comes right after "...defending"

CHORUS:
     Bb               F      
 Its been so long, it feels like a false alarm 
                 Gm
 You think youre on your own and I take that it shows,
     C   
 But something always happens whenever were together, it goes
