Brilliant song by Stockton based band Young Rebel Set, who don't always get the 
credit they deserve. 

C 						      Am
I never said Id marry you, I never said I wanted to at all
C								        Am
An all those things I promised you, Id never said Id follow through at all
F                            G        F                   G
An all the time I was thinking, of ways to change your mind,
F                G                 C
Im sorry if I led you down the line,

C                                                        Am
I never said I wanted you, I never said I needed you at all,
C                               	                                 Am
An all those things I said Id do, I never said Id see them through at all,
F                          G         F               G
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
F               G                  C
Im sorry if I led you down the line, 

F                                C              
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,
F                           C
An I know that you still care,
F                           C -  Em ? Am                        
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
F             G              C
Instead of lovers till the end.

C                                                                   Am
So Im gonna go to Stockton town, find me a girl to fuck around again,
C                                                                    Am 
An Im gonna do just what I like, an Im gonna do it, every night again,
F                       G         F                  G
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
F             G                   C
Im sorry if I led you down the line,

I sat up drinking for three lonely nights I asked myself, when will this end?
Am                      Em                                     F                 G
I washed these thoughts down with a bottle of wine, I said my dear, youre just my friend

C 						      Am
Cause I never said Id marry you, I never said I wanted to at all
C                                                                    Am
An all the things I promised you, I never said Id follow through at all  

F                       G         F                  G
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
F             G                   C
Im sorry if I led you down the line,

F                               C              
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,

An I know that you still care,
F                                C -  Em ? Am                        
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
F              G             Am
Instead of lovers till the end.
F              G              C
Instead of lovers till the end.
