E A E A
[Verse 1]
E A
Who’s gonna tell us the stories, that our textbooks don’t?
E A
Tales of love that stay blurry, cause our courses won’t
C#m B
Ignore the way they’re designed to erase the past
A
To keep good intentions secret
B
To force.. a mask
E
Too many handwritten letters
A
Signed to: my dearest, with love
E A
All pulled from their papers, ripped out as cover up
C#m B
To disguise endearment, as friendly notes
A B
It doesn’t take a scholar, to know how this one goеs
B
And historians will call them
[Chorus]
E A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
[Verse 2]
E
40 years living together
A
Wearing the same wedding bands
E
Two kids and a golden retriever
A
Just friends don’t live like that
C#m
They don’t look at each other
B
With love in their eyes
A B
With hopes to settle down for the rest of their lives
E
How many decades of hiding?
A
21 centuries of hate
E
Some things may not’ve been okay back then
A C#m
But it’s sure all right today
B
Too afraid to call it what it is
A B
It doesn’t take a scholar, to understand this
B
And historians will call them
[Chorus]
E A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
[Verse 3]
A
Keep it hidden
B
Rewrite history
A
Leave it wrapped up in a mystery
B
Because no one can figure it out
(I think they figured it out)
C#m B A
Stash the proof, hide the evidence
B C#m
Keep it locked until it’s relevant
B A
Because they can’t figure it out
(I think they figured it out)
B A
Because no one can figure it out
B
I think they figured it out
And historians will call them
[Chorus]
E A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
[Chorus]
E A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
