Belle and Sebastian - Best Friend: chords

G
Here we are just trying to be flatmates
Em
Here we are just trying to sophisticate
D
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love
A
Be a human, trying not to stand up
G
Here we are just trying to be neighbors
Em
You in bed, me still with the painters
D
Smoking at the window, at the magpies
A
Trying to work out what's the truth and
            G  Gm
what's the lie

D
I'm not saying that we will be best friends
A
But I took you dancing at the weekend
G
Tell your folks in bed you had to play
      Gm
I'll try to make you feel like the kids
are playing pretend
D
I'm not saying that we can't be running mates
F#m
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace
G                                          Gm
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way
I move my hips
                                      D
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips
       Am
So you won't want to miss
         Em
All the shapes that can make
        Gm                 A#
It's a choice you want to take

Chorus:
A
Here we are just trying to be
     G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
           F#m
It's only human not to want to be alone
G
Here we are just trying to be
     Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
 D            A
Get too close

Come around to me, I’ll be your locking vault
Tell me all your dirt, I’ll never tell a soul
Tell me over steaming mac and cheese
With a tray upon your knees
We can listen to the radio

I’m not saying I will cook you dinner
Stick with me and you’ll only end up thinner
There are other ways to fill you up
I can look into your soul
I can feed you all the love I’ve been saving up
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not digging my way in
I just like the game we’re playin'

Chorus

I’m not saying that we can’t be dreamers
Here we are just trying to be neighbors
We can lie awake and watch the sky
Forget the truth, forget the lie
For the moment, you’re my best friend
