A   E  B
   It's better off this way, hey hey
                       A       E    B
   Would hate to ever see you walk away
       A-B     A-B
   Oh hoh  Oh hoh

  A
   Like what we have the way it is
           B
   So why you getting serious
    A
   I know what you like
                      B
   I'm not the cutesy type
          A
   Don't want to ruin what we have
          B
   By throwin' love into this
             A
   So I'll pretend that you didn't say
               B
   What you said 

                Refrain
  C#m
   What's gettin' into you
  G#m
   Why you in this crazy mood
  A
   We've been friends through everything
           B
   Why change?

                 Chorus
                         A    E    B
   It's better off this way (hey, hey)
                      A        E    B
   Would hate to ever see you walk away
            A           A#dim7           B
   Cause of mistake that one of us would make
                   A
   Trust me when I say
                         B (break)
   It's better off this way

                                 C#m  A   B
   Yeah, it's better off this way, la la la
                                 C#m   A     B
   Yeah, it's better off this way, hey yeah yeah

          A
   I know all the lives that you've used
        B
   On all the girls you've been through
       A
   I know all your tricks
                      B
   Not quick to fall for this
      A
   Tomorrow you'll be in love again
         B
   You know you will, so don't pretend
     A
   But I'll be here 
                                B
   And we could still be best of friends

   (Repeat Refrain)

   (Repeat Chorus)

                           C#m
   It's better off this way
                         G#m
   Sometimes I look at you secretly
                 F#
   I feel it too, kinda strange 
                      A       G#7  C#m
   To think of us together in that way
            C#m
   And when you're there for me
  G#m
   Think that maybe
               F#
   We could be more than friends
                    B
   But why take the chance

   (Repeat Chorus except last line)
