[Verse 1]
 
A
Now that we are over
       B
As the loving kind
Bm                E7
We'll be dreaming ways
            D/F# A
To keep the good alive
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A
Only when we want is not
  B
A compromise
Bm             E7
Ill be pouring tears
          D/F#   A     E/G#
Into your drying eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Bm        E7      A    E/G#
There can only be one
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Bm                 E7
We'll never be the inbetween
   D/F#    A
So give it up
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A
You whisper "Come on over"
           B
Cause your two drinks in
    Bm             E7
But in the morning I will say
D/F#     A
Good-bye again 
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A
Think we'll never fall into
    B
The jealous game
    Bm
The streets will flood
     E7                 D/F#     A    E/G#
With blood of those who felt the same
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing, you see
Bm        E7      A    E/G#
There can only be one
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Bm             E7
We'll never an inbetween
   D/F#       A
So give it up
 
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Bm                      E7 A  E/G#
We can really only ever be one
F#m                 B7
Friends, lovers, or nothing
 
Don't you know
Bm                 E7
We'll never be the inbetween
   D/F#    A
So give it up
    Bm              E7
No, we'll never the inbetween
   D/F#    A
So give it up
 
 
[Outro]
 
A        E/G#              F#m               \
Anything other than yes is no                 \
         A7                 Dmaj7              \
