INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
 G            D
Three years imagining
          A
a life together
 G                 D
Loved your family more than
               A
we loved each other
   G                 D          A
I said I'd keep in touch and I did
         G               D
But the more we keep in touch
            A
the more I miss him

CHORUS:
           G
Tell your sister if she hears
         D
from her ex
                A
I can't be the one that she calls
        G
And as much as Iris talks
          D
with her dad
                A
I need her to leave me alone
       G
'Cause I can't find the
             D
words to express
                    A
The way that I wish I was the one
      G                  D
My friends don't bring friends
            A
to family reunions

VERSE:
G                       D
The phone calls, sweet notes,
                      A
All the little things I used to love
G                 D
 Now they just remind me that
        A
 I was never enough
      G                     D
They said if we keeped in touch
        A
and I tried it
         G               D
But the more we keep in touch
                       A
The less that I will mourn in lies

                A

     G
You might have found the
             D
words to express
                        A
The way you don't think I am the one
      G                   D
And friends don't bring friends
            A
to family reunions

VERSE:
           G
Tell your momma to stop
            D
sending me recipes
                    A
She finds on the internet
               G
And when your brother wins
            D
homecoming king
                     A
I won't be there to witness it

CHORUS:
     G
You already found the
             D
words to express
                        A
The way you don't think I am the one
      G                   D
And friends don't bring friends
            A
to family reunions
                G
If we're just friends don't
        D                 A
bring friends to family reunions

BREAK:
 Bm
Love them like,
they're my own blood
    A
But I don't think I'll ever
move on
D                    D   A
If you don't, if you do-on't
