[Intro]D[Verse 1]D
I didn't think you'd
G
understand me
D
How could you ever
G
even try?
D
I don't wanna tiptoe
AG
but I don't wanna hide
But I don't wanna feed
Bm
this monstruous fire
AG
Just wanna let this story die
And I'll be alright
[Chorus
D
We can't be friends
G
But I'd like to just
pre-tend
D
You cling to your papers
and pens
G
Wait until you like
me again
[Post-Chorus]Bm
Wait for your love
A
My love, I'll wait
G
for your love
[Verse 2]D
Me and my truth,
G
we sit in silence
D
Mm, baby girl,
G
it's just me and you
DA
'Cause I don't wanna argue
G
but I don't wanna bite
my tongue
Bm
I think I’d rather die
A
You got me misunderstood
G
But at least I look
this good
[Chorus]D
We can't be friends
G
But I'd like to just
pre-tend
D
You cling to your papers
and pens
G
Wait until you like
me again
[Post-Chorus]Bm
Wait for your love
A
My love, I'll wait
G
for your love
Bm
I'll wait for your love
A
My love, I'll wait
G
for your love
[Bridge]D
Know that you made me
G
I don't like how you paint
me, yet I'm still
here hangin'
D
Not what you made me
It's somethin'
G
like a daydream
But I feel so seen
Bm
in the night
A
So for now, it's only me
G
And maybe that's
all I need
[Chorus]
We can't be friends
But I'd like to
just pre-tend
D
You cling to your papers
and pens
G
Wait until you like
me again
[Post-Chorus]Bm
Wait for your love
A
My love, I'll wait
G
for your love
Bm
I'll wait for your love
A
My love, I'll wait
G
for your love
[Outro]D
I'll wait for your love
G
I'll wait for your love
D
I'll wait for your love
G
I'll wait for your love
DGDG
I'll wait for your love

These are We Can’t Be Friends Wait For Your Love chords by Ariana Grande on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
We Can’t Be Friends Wait For Your Love by Ariana Grande is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: D, G, A and Bm.
Most of the song cycles through G – Bm – A – G (IV – vi – V – IV in D major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
