 gree          I've seen the very best of friends part for-ever bitter company

|D              |G               |D                                    |G          |
 You and I we've had our share of falling out but we've seen each other through

|D                   |G               |                          |Gsus4            |
 Though I have to say I always thought I was a better friend than you

|G                       |A                               |D                       |
 You've let me down in so many little ways           You a-pologise and I always ac-

|G              |G (hold)            |                         |D        |G        |
 cept                    'Cause I for-give   though I don't for-get

|D        |G         |D                    |G                   |D                 |
                       2.When you were hurt I took your pain       Yeah I soaked up

|G                 |D                        |G                   |D               |
 all your rage       And there were times you did the same for me    But you always

|G                  |D                   |G                    |
 complained           When all the others wrote you off    I de-

|D                               |G                   |D                       |
 fended you I stuck with you like glue                    You're so generous

|G                           |                     |                           |
 And so completely selfish     And I always kind of liked that about you

|                   |A                   |D                     |G               |
 But this is one too many times    you've treated me like a door mat

|G (hold)          |                       |D         |G        |D       |G        |
        Oh I'll for-give    but I won't for-get

|A               |                |G              |                |Bm             |
   Dying comes at any time           Living has no rules              Forgiving may

|                   |A                    |                |D          |G          |
 get you favours but forgetting's just for fools

|D        |G        |D        |G        |D        |G        |NC/D                  |
                                                              3.I can't believe she

|                   |                    |                 |                    |
 fucked you here      Then fed me full of lies                Why don't I go and

|                  |G                              |                           |
 get her now           and you can fuck her again    right before my eyes

|                |A                        |D                    |G                |
 Then you two can have each other    You de-serve each other I'll bet 

|G (hold)            |                       |D           |G          |D           |
         And I'll for-give    but I won't for-get

|G               |D                 |G                           |D                |
      I won't for-get                I'll forgive but I won't for-get

|G               |D                ||
