             Am
I miss your brain, the way you think
            Em
But I don't miss the way you used to drink
            Am
I miss our talks, the universal law
           Em
You had a way of seeing through my flaws
           Am
It's so confusing, I thought I met my match
           Em
An intellectual with talent, what a catch
            Am
You always said we'd be better off as friends
           Em
It was inevitable that it would end

      C
Your picture's off my wall
         Em
But I'm still waiting for your call
           C
And every man that walks through that door
           Em
Will be compared to you forevermore

Chorus:
         Am         D
Still I have no regrets
           Bm                  Em
'Cause I survived the biggest test
          Am                 D
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
       Bm                  Em
But I feel like I lost my very best friend

I miss the countryside where we used to lay
The smell of roses on a lovely summer day
You made me laugh, you had a clever wit
I miss the good times, I don't miss all of it
You wrote me poetry, you had a way with words
You said you wanted more than just a pretty girl
Maybe I challenged you a little bit too much
We couldn't have two drivers on the clutch

Your picture's off my wall
But I'm still waiting for your call
And every man that walks through that door
Will be compared to you forevermore

Chorus:
Still I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
Yet I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend

         Am                D
It's so sad that it had to end
   Bm                 Em D
I lost my very best friend
Not gonna candy coat it
And I don't want to pretend
I put away your letters
Saved the best ones that I had
It wasn't always perfect
But it wasn't always bad

Chorus:
Still I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I cannot lie and I won't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend
Yet I have no regrets
'Cause I survived the biggest test
I will not lie and I can't pretend
But I feel like I lost my very best friend

It's so sad that it had to end
