"Best Friend" - Laufey
[Verse 1]
Ebmaj7Em7b5
It’s come to my attention
Fm7F#m7b5
That I don’t show enough
Gm7
Of what I think
G7G#maj7G#m7
It’s only when I drink I open up
Gm7C7(b13)
But I promise that I love you
Fm7Bb13
Even with that hairdo
Ebmaj7Em7b5
I’m sorry I made fun of it
Fm7Bb13
It’s not your fault it looks like sh*t
Ebmaj7Em7b5
I have never tolerated
Fm7F#m7b5
someone for so long
Gm7G7
I’ve never laughed so much
G#maj7G#m7
I haven’t written a sad song
Gm7C7(b13)Fm7
There’s no one else I’d rather fall asleep with
Bb13
And dream with

[Verse 2]
Abmaj7Abm7
When we’re ninety eight and ninety nine
Gm7
Tumbling down the stairs
C7
You’ll barely catch me in time
Fm7Bb7
We’ll argue about what to watch on TV
Ebmaj7D7Db7C7
Finally pick a movie then we’ll fall asleep
Fm7Fm7*
We’ll still be a little bit strange
Fm7b5Bb13
Some things never change
[Verse 3]
Ebmaj7Em7b5Fm7F#m7b5
It’s funny cause you drive me half insane
Gm7G7G#maj7G#m7
A universe without you would thoroughly mundane

There’s no one else I’d rather fall in love with

Notes/tips:
-A good rule of thumb to remember when playing this song is the general
shape of:
x13121 and x12121, respectively to their positions.
-Fm7 in "we'll argue about what to watch online" is: 1x111x ...it is
only used once in this entire song.
All the Fm7 following and preceeding that is just the high Fm7.
-Fm7* refers to how Laufey plays it in the live version. Before she
hits the D note, she switches to
Fm7b5 to give it that lovely sound.
-If you're still relatively new to guitar/barre chords, this is the
perfect opportunity to learn the places
of "bass notes," as well as the different chord shapes of the same
chord.
(This will be important, and will help in reading chords once you
improve through practice.)
