F            Dm
Where do you go
    C             Em
Whenever it gets serious?
Your reasons are old
I'm overcome with weariness
I heard you're in Mexico
But move around, never settle long
You took two years in Tokyo
An insincere attempt to grow

Chorus:
             Dm               C   Dm
So tell me, how can we still be friends
            C      Am        A#    Gm    F
When we're just a love that didn't happen
               Dm   C Am C
And can never happen?
So tell me, how can we still be friends
When we're just a love that didn't happen
And can never happen again?

Your heart is a lie
You've strung together to buy some time
It's so easy to call
But isn't love disposable?
Nowhere for this to go
You left it all, you left me low
Send some word to raise a hope
Or let it fall to the sea below

Chorus - x2
