Guitar Chords for My Friends Over You by New Found Glory

Take note of the capo marking below as you’ll be playing in another key unless you do so. It is possible of course to move everything up to the key of the song without a capo, but that’s not recommended for people new to the instrument. This is another good song to substitute power chords for instead of using the full chords.

Verse:
              C
I'm drunk off your kiss
     F
For another night in a row
                     C
This is becoming too routine for me
      Dm             F
But I didn't mean to lead you on
         C                       F
And it's alright to pretend that we still talk
     C
It's just for show isn't it
Dm                    F
It's my fault that it fell apart
 
 
Pre Chorus:
     Dm        F
Just maybe you need this
      Dm     F       G
And I didn't mean to lead you on
 
 
Chorus:
C                     F
You were everything I wanted
    C            F
But I just can't finish what I started
        Am                      F
There's no room left here on my back
                     Am
It was damaged long ago
                              F
Though you swear that you are true
                    G
I'd still pick my friends over you
 
My friends over you!

Verse 2:
               C
Please tell me everything
         F
That you think that I should know
              C
About all the plans you made
     Dm             F
When I was no where to be found
         C                        F
And it's all right to forget that we still talk
     C
It's just for fun isn't it
Dm                    F
It's my fault that it fell apart
 
 
Pre Chorus:

Chorus:
C                     F
You were everything I wanted
    C            F
But I just can't finish what I started
        Am                      F
There's no room left here on my back
                     Am
It was damaged long ago
                              F
Though you swear that you are true
                    G
I'd still pick my friends over you
 
My friends over you!
