Some couples keep it friendly even once the lovin's gone,           1   1   4   1
  as if the common memories can connect them from now on.           1   1   4   5
Some guys 'll take the breakin' up philosophically                  1   1   4   3
 and keep up good relations, but  that's just not me -              4   1   5   57

CHORUS:
  I won't do small talk over coffee sharin' problems of my day,     4   4   4   1
 and I don't need your new life details; let secrets stay that way. 4   4   4   5
  Although I plan to mind my manners when by chance we meet again,  4   4   1   6m
  that don't mean   we can  be    best of friends.                  1   5   1   1

If you're wishin' for a confidante to tell how you hurt too,
  or it's sympathetic bonds you want, someone else'll  do. 
If you're haunted by concern and wanna let your kindness show,
    tell God or tell your girlfriends, but I don't need to know.

CHORUS starting:
 I don't need small talk ...


  I won't ask about your hopes and dreams now that mine have turned to dust. 
  I won't ask about your family,   but  tell me if you must.
  I don't care about your hobbies, but you're free to join in mine:
        I punch the wall and curse my luck, and drink until I'm blind, but
CHORUS+:
  I won't share long talks over long walks just to bring you up to date, 4  4  4  1
    and I can't stand to hear the mention of the man who took my place,  4  4  4  5
  because your  killin' off the lovin' brought the likin' to an   end.   4  4  1  6m
         So even after     I'm my   own sweet  self   again,             1  5  6m 6m
    that  don't  mean      we can   be         best of friends.          1  5  1  1
