Chorus:
   Em
Oh, what we got
                        D
Baby, what we got is secure
Been a part of toxic love
             C
It tore us apart
Things you want, 
I'm not lookin' for
           D
You're my best friend now
           B/D#
You're my best friend now
Em
Oh, I don't want to be responsible
          D
For your heart if we fall
                                     C
'Cause I'll get clumsy and tear it apart
I love you so, but we can't get close
           D
You're my best friend now
           B/D#
You're my best friend now

Em
Oh, I love it when we climax (Climax)
And I would never burn you
I could never hurt you
D
If we do it like that
Don't try to take it further
Focus on the friendship
C
Get a little sidetracked
Catchin' little feelings
Thought we had arrangements
D
Thought you weren't like that
     B/D#
Yeah, I thought you weren't like that (Uh-uh)

Em
Oh, friends no more
Sex as friends no more
           D
You don't wanna have sex as friends no more
Friends no more
 C
Ooh, friends no more, uh
Sex as friends no more
           D
You don't wanna have sex as friends no more
B/D#
 Oh

Chorus:
Oh, what we got (Oh yeah)
Baby, what we got is secure
Been a part of toxic love
It tore us apart (Oh yeah)
Things you want, I'm not lookin' for
(I'm not searchin')
You're my best friend now (Oh, baby)
You're my best friend now
Oh, I don't want to be responsible
For your heart if we fall (Oh no)
'Cause I'll get clumsy and tear it apart
I love you so (Oh yeah), but we can't get close
You're my best friend now (Best friend now)
You're my best friend now (Best friend now)
