Am 
I bit my tongue, I never talked too much 
 
I tried to be so strong 
Am 
I did my best, I used the gentle touch 
 
I've done it for so long 
 

Am 
You put me down, but I can laugh it off 
 
And act like nothing's wrong 
Am 
But why pretend? I think I've heard enough 
 
Of your familiar song 
 

Em9 
I tell you what I'm going to do 
C7M 
I'll try to take my mind off you 
Em9 
And now that you don't need my help 
C7M 
I'll use the time to think about myself 
 

Am6 Am  Am6 Am (x2) 
 
Am 
You're not aware of what you put me through 
 
But now the feeling's gone 
Am 
But I don't mind, do what you have to do 
 
You don't fool anyone 
 

Em9 
I'll tell you what I'm going to do 
C7M 
I'll take a different point of view 
Em9 
And now that you don't need my help 
C7M 
I'll use the time to think about myself 
 

F7M 
The definition of friendship 
 
Apparently ought to be showing support 
        G7M 
For the one that you love 
F7M 
And I was open to friendship 
 
But you didn't seem to have any to spare 
G 
While you were riding to Vanity Fair 
 

Am6 Am  Am6 Am (x2) 
 
Am 
There was a time when every day was young 
 
The sun would always shine 
Am 
We sang along when all the songs were sung 
 
Believing every line

F7M 
That's the trouble with friendship 
 
For someone to feel it it has to be real 
      G7M 
Or it wouldn't be right 
F7M 
And I keep hoping for friendship 
 
But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there 
G 
While you were riding to Vanity Fair
