A         Asus4
How can I tell her?
A          G#
What can I say?
Esus4                   E
We've been friends for so long
Esus4                E
Never knew it could go wrong
A            Asus4
When I look at her
A                G#
Words just won't come
Esus4          E
Tho I try to write them
Esus4               E
Found I couldn't recite them

Chorus:
F#m                               B
And the dawn comes running to my room
F#m                                 B
And the time for telling is coming soon

She's a believer
That's what she said
When I look in her eyes
All I see is goodbye

Chorus:
And the dawn comes running to my room
And the time for telling's coming soon

How can I tell her?
What can I say?
We've been friends for so long
Never knew it could go wrong

Esus4        E
Friends for so long
Esus4 E
     so long
