              Intro:C#m7    F#9 B7+(2x) 
 
B7+ 
 I can't wait to 
         Eb7 
Get away from you 
G#m7 
And surprisingly 
            B7  B13 
You hate me too. 
C#m7           Dm7  
We only communicate 
     Ebm7            Dm7 
When we need to fight 
C#m7 
 But we are best friends 
F#9 
Right 
 
B7+ 
You're too good at, 
               Eb7 
Pretending you don't care 
G#m7 
There's enough resentment 
       B7  B13 
In the air. 
    C#m7                     Dm7 
Now you don't want me in the flat, 
 
     Ebm7                Dm7 
When you're home at night 
C#m7                    F#9    F#7 
 But we're best friends right 
 
B7+ 
You're Stephanie 
    Bbm7 
And I'm Paulette 
    Eb7 
You know what 
            G#m7 
All my faces mean. 
B7+ 
 And it's easy to 
         Bbm7      Am7 
Smoke it up, forget 
G#m7 
Everything that happened, 
      C#13   F#7 
In be-tween. 
 
B7+ 
Nicky's right when 
          Eb7 
He says I can't win 
   G#m7 
So I don't wanna 
             B7   B13 
Tell you any-thing. 
C#m7 
 I can't even think about 
    Ebm7            
How you feel inside 
C#m7 
 But we are best friends 
 
F#9  F#7 
Right 
 
B7+ 
I don't like the way 
        Eb7 
You say my name 
       G#m7 
You're always looking, 
               B7    B13 
For someone to blame. 
    C#m7 
Now you want me 
          Dm7      
To suffer just cause 
Ebm7              Dm7 
You was born white 
C#m7 
 But we are best friends 
F#9   F#7 
Right 
 
B7+ 
You're Stephanie 
    Bbm7 
And I'm Paulette 
    Eb7 
You know what, 
            G#m7 
All my faces mean. 
B7+ 
And it's easy to 
         Bbm7      Am7 
Smoke it up, forget 
G#m7 
 Everything that happened, 
      C#13   F#7 
In be-tween. 
 
   B7+ 
So I had love for you 
           Eb7 
When I was four 
    G#m7 
And there's no one 
                   B7   B13 
I wanna smoke with more. 
     C#m7                 Dm7 
Some-day I'll buy the Rizla 
   Ebm7         G#7 Dm7 
So you get the draw. 
 
C#m7        F#9 
 Cos we are best friends 
B7+ 
Right, right, right, right 
  C#m7 
Because we are 
F#9   B7+ 
Best  friends right 
   C#m7 
Be-cause we are 
F#9     B7+ 
Best friends right
