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 out G Here we are just trying to be neighbours Em You in bed, me still with the painters D Smoking out the window, at the magpies A G Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie Gm 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 tried to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend D I'm not saying that we can't be running mates A 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 It's a choice you want to take A Here we are just trying to be G Oh, here we are just trying not to D Fall in love F# 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 Get too close A D Come around to me, I'll be your lock and fold A Tell me all your dirt, I'll never tell a soul G Tell me over steaming mac n cheese Gm Hold the tray upon your knees, we can listen to the radio D I'm not saying I will cook you dinner A Stick with me and you'll only end up thinner G There are other ways to fill you up Gm I can look into your soul, I can feed you all the love D I’ve been saving up Am Oh, and don't get me wrong Em I'm digging my way in Gm I just like the game we’re playing A Here we are just trying to be G Oh, here we are just trying not to D Fall in love F# 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 Get too close A D I’m not saying that we can’t be dreamers A Here we are just trying to be neighbours G We can lie awake and watch the sky Gm Forget the truth, forget the lie for the moment you’re my best friend
