[N] [Bbm] [G]
If it wasn't for you, my [F] friend, why [Am] should everything be such [Dm]
fuss?
[G] It's so [C] difficult to [F] pretend that the [Em] laughing [Am] is easy [Dm] with [G] us.
[Em] You tell me what [F] to do, [G]
and I tell you [Am] where to go.
[Em]
One and one [F] is two, [G]
but not because you [A] tell me so.
[Bb]
If [G] it wasn't for [Am] you, I bet I could [Em] do better [Am] sleeping at [Dm]
night.
[G] It's so [C] difficult to [Am]
forget every [Em] stupid [Am] and meaningless [Dm]
fight.
[G] [Em]
You say go [A] away, [G]
and I say it's [Am] fine with me.
[Em]
Then I want [F] to stay, [G]
nowhere that I'd [Am] rather be.
[Bb]
[Dm]
You could [C] be anything, [Eb]
a slave or a [Bb] master.
[Dm]
Any joker or [Am] any king can be a sad [G] master.
[F]
And I'd be one [G] too, if it wasn't for [Am] you.
[F]
[G]
If it wasn't for [C] me, I guess [Em] you could be someone [Am] better by [Dm] now.
[G]
It's so difficult [C] to confess, [F] but I [Em] see we're [Am] together [Dm] somehow.
[G]
[E] I don't [Am] want to [F] know [G] if I [Am] got it right or wrong.
[Em] Hope you [F] never go, [G] hope we're gonna [Am] get along.
[Bb]
[F] You could be [C] anyone, [Eb] a beggar or a [Bb] chooser.
[Dm] Any father [C] or any son can be a [Am] real [G] loser.
[F] And I'd be one [G] too, if it wasn't for [Am] you.
