Verse 1:
 (nc)                C
“Do you wanna be friends?”
                  F
I mean I wanna be more,
            C
 but if “friends” is how I get to have you,
    F
then "Sure."

Chorus:
 C
I’ll be quiet in my pining,
F
I won’t tell you about the pain,
C
I’ll be silent in the night when
F
I know that you’re asleep but I wanna ask you
           C
if you’re awake

Verse 2:
(nc)         C
So we’ll be friends,
       F
and I’ll be okay,
          C
the world won’t end if you don’t love me,
                    F
even if it feels that way

Chorus:
 C
I’ll be quiet in my pining,
F
I won’t tell you about the pain,
C
I’ll be silent in the night when
F
all I wanna do is tell you how pretty I thought
             C
you looked today

Bridge:
 C
I don’t know whеre the line is so,
      F
I’ll stay on my sidе even when you’re not on yours
 C
I’ll tread lightly in case I might be
F                                 (nc)
breaking a boundary we used to break before

Verse 3:
 C
And so I’ll be your best friend,
           F
simple as that,
C
and when you play pretend that things are the way they were,
              F
I won’t flirt back

Outro:
 C
No, I’ll be quiet in my pining,
F                         (nc)
I won’t tell you about the pain,
C
I’ll be silent in the night
         F
when you text me and ask
                 C
 “Hey. Are you awake?”
