G
Here we are just trying to be flatmates
Em
Here we are just trying to sophisticate
D
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love
A
Be a human, trying not to stand up
G
Here we are just trying to be neighbors
Em
You in bed, me still with the painters
D
Smoking at the window, at the magpies
A
Trying to work out what's the truth and
           G    Gm
what's the lie

D
I'm not saying that we will be best friends
A
But I took you dancing at the weekend
G
Tell your folks in bed you had to play
     Gm
I'll try to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend

D
I'm not saying that we can't be running mates
F#m
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace
G                                          Gm
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips

                                      D
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips
       Am
So you won't want to miss
         Em
All the shapes that can make
        Gm                 A#
It's a choice you want to take


[chorus]
A
Here we are just trying to be
    G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
          F#m
It's only human not to want to be alone
G
Here we are just trying to be
Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D              A
Get too close


[verse 2]
D
Come on rant to me (I'll be your lock and fold)
A
Tell me all your dirt (I'll never tell a soul)
G
Tell me over steam and mac 'n cheese
          Gm
(Hold the tray above your knees)
We can listen to the radio

D
I'm not saying I will kick you downright
F#m
Stick with me and oh we end up bein' like
G
There are other ways to feel you out
        Gm
(I can look into your soul)
I can feed you all the love

         D
I've been savin' up
         Am
Oh, and don't let me run
       Em
I'm a-digging my way in
        Gm
I just like the game you're playing


[chorus]
A
Here we are just trying to be
G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
          F#m
It's only human not to want to be alone
G
Here we are just trying to be
     Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D             A
Get too close


[outro]
D
I'm not saying that we can't be dreamers
A
Here we are just trying to be neighbors
G
We can lie awake and watch the sky
            Gm
Forget the truth, forget the lie
                                     D
For the moment you're my best friend
