G                         D           A
When you sleep, are you dreaming of me?
G                     D        A
Hurts to say, but I'm always awake
G                    D           A
If you want me, I'm waiting for you
G
If you call me, I'll pick up
D                     A
Know I shouldn't  but I can't give up 'cause you

Chorus:
G                      D        A
Kept me crying for so long, my tears have dried
G                                    D
Still when I hear your voice, those tears
           A
they come back to mind
 G                          D
So don't call me up just to tell me
           A          G
You don't love me anymore
          Bm         A
Still it wrecks me 'cause

G
I was your lover
   D         A
I was your friend
        G
Now I'm only just someone you call
           D                 A
When it's late enough to forget
   G
I was your lover
   D         A
I was your friend
        G
Now I'm only just someone you call
           D                 A
When it's late enough to forget

G                        F#m           Em
When you leave, I can't stop my heart hurting
Hurts to say I keep thinking you'll stay
If you want me, I'll be waiting for you
G
If you call me, I'll pick up
F#m                   A
Know I shouldn't, but I can't give up
'Cause you

Chorus

I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget
I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget
I've got no cover
I can't pretend
That I'm anything more to you now
Than someone who's hard to forget
And after all these tears
After all my years of trying
I don't wanna hear
That none of it meant anything

I was your lover
I was your friend
I was your lover
I was your friend
I was your lover
I was, I was your friend
I was your lover
I was your friend
I was, I was your lover, baby
I was, I was your lover, baby
I was (I was your lover)
I was (I was your friend)
I was (I was your lover)
I was (I was your friend)
I was (I was your lover)
I was (I was your friend)
I was, I was (I was your lover)
I was, baby (I was your friend)
