[Verse 1]
        E         B/D#
Through thick and thin
C#m            E7/B
Good times and bad
   A
To stop you drinking
      E/G#
the Kool-Aid
    F#m                  B
And hold you when you're sad
   E             B/D#
A shoulder to cry on
  E7/D       A
A hoodie to wear
A              E/G#   C#7/F
Somebody that calls up
F#m                       B
Just to let you know they care

[Chorus]
   G#7               C#m
We let the lines get blurry
    B               E
Now both of us are hurting
 Emaj7  F#dim7
A          Aaug
You knew I wasn't ready
F#m/A
I'm too unsteady
A7                         D
Don't make me make the call
A/C#
This doesn't have to
        Bm     E7
be the end
A              Aaug
You gave me an ultimatum
F#m/A
You said verbatim
A7                         D
"If you want me, take it all
               A/C#
Or you'll never see my
         Bm
 face again"
D               A/C#
Guess I'II never see
           Bm
your face again

[Verse 2]
E            B/D#
I crashed my Mercedes
Bm/D                 G#7/C
Somewhere near the coast
A          E/G#
I couldn't reach you
       F#m            B
When I needed you the most
E               B/D#
And that night I got roofied
    Bm/D              A
And passed out on the floor
A                   G#7
When I asked you to come home
A
You said you'd rather
       B
 dance alone

[Chorus]
   G#7               C#m
We let the lines get blurry
    B               E
Now both of us are hurting
Emaj7  F#dim7
A          Aaug
You knew I wasn't ready
F#m/A
I'm too unsteady
A7                         D
Don't make me make the call
A/C#
This doesn't have to
        Bm     E7
 be the end

How to play We Were Never Really Friends: key, chords and progression

We Were Never Really Friends by Bruno Major is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 25 chords: A, E/G#, F#m, E, B/D#, C#m, E/B, B, E7/B, E7/D, C#7/F and G#7 and 13 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A – E/G# – F#m – B (I – V – vi – II in A major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, Em, A, Bm, D7, B7, F#7, Dmaj7, Edim7 (69% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 44% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
