Brilliant song by Stockton based band Young Rebel Set, who don't always get the
credit they deserve.
C Am
I never said Id marry you, I never said I wanted to at all
C Am
An all those things I promised you, Id never said Id follow through at all
F G F G
An all the time I was thinking, of ways to change your mind,
F G C
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
C Am
I never said I wanted you, I never said I needed you at all,
C Am
An all those things I said Id do, I never said Id see them through at all,
F G F G
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
F G C
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
F C
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,
F C
An I know that you still care,
F C - Em – Am
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
F G C
Instead of lovers till the end.
