And i[A]rony is oka[F#m]y, I suppose, c[D]ulture is to [E]blame
You tr[A]y and mask your p[F#m]ain in the m[D]ost postmodern [E]way
You lack subs[A]substance when you s[F#m]say
Something li[D]like, "Oh, what a [E]shame"
It's just a s[A]self-referential w[F#m]way that stops you [D]having to be [E]human
I'm as[A]suming you'll ba[F#m]lloon when you re[D]move the dirty [E]spoon
And start cons[A]consuming like a [F#m]human, that's [D]what I am as[E]assuming

I'm [A]sure that y[F#m]you're not j[D]just another [E]girl
I'm [A]sure that [F#m]you're gonna [D]say that I was [E]sexist
I [A]feel like [F#m]you're running [D]out of all the [E]things
[A]I like[F#m]liked you[D]you for
Chorus
[E]Why can't we be f[A]friends, when we are lo[F#m]lovers?
'Cause it always [D]ends with us hating each [E]other
Instead of calling me [A]out, you should be pulling me [F#m]in
I've [D]just got one more [E]thing to say

You could con[D]control how you're perc[E]perceived
When at your [A]best you're intermed[F#m]intermediately
[D]Versed in your own f[E]feelings?
Keep on [A]putting off conc[F#m]conceiving
It's only [D]you that you're dec[E]deceiving
Oh, don't [A]have a child, don't [F#m]cramp your style, I'll [D]leave it
Chorus
[E]Why can't we be f[A]friends, when we are lo[F#m]lovers?

I've [D]just got one more [E]thing to say
