[Chorus]
G
I'm feeling much better now
D C
I just thought I should let it out
G
Before I go bite my tongue
D
What have you done?

It's happening again

You say you've lost your only friend

The night goes by and you're scaring me half to death

And awh you see in her eyes

Best friends should never fight

So try walk away without causing a scene
