                  D
You're losing a friend
    F#m        Bm
You got it all wrong
     Bm7         Em
It's not about revenge
            G         D
But you're losing a friend
   F#m           Bm
I didn't see it coming
         Bm7               Em
With my head stuck in the sand
             G         D
But now I'm losing a friend

Chorus:
         D7         G
And it's keeping me up
          F#m       Em
It's the ribbons I tied
         A           Bm
I would rather just die
       D              Em
Go to hell and crawl back
      Gm      F
Than let you go

You're losing a friend
You jeopardize me
Bad, bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend
I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I'm losing you

Chorus:
And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let it all go

 D     G
My mistake

To lose you

   F/E    F/D
Oh no, oh no!
   F/C      A#
So this the end now
    Gm       F
I'm losing you
 F/E        F/D
Oh, look at you!
F/C               B
Look what you're wasting
       Gm         F
You're losing a friend
   F/E    F/D
Oh no, oh no!
    F/C       A#
I'm losing a friend
       D  G  D
Oh, oh oh no
