My Own Best Friend Chords by Joe Jonas

[Intro]

G D/F# Em C
G D/F# Em C
 
 
[Verse]

                       G      D/F#
Too many cracks in the marble
              Em              C
Like sapphire diamonds in the rough
          G                   
You know, life's like a circle 
               D/F#
(Life's like a circle)
           Em                 C
Eventually dust turns back to dust
           G            D/F#              
Things you can't imagine    remind you of 
Em                 C
what you've always had
                   G     
Maybe they need to happen,
D/F#               Em                   C
   so you know the worst ain't all that bad
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

   G                    
So blow out the candle, 
D/F#
another year gone
    Em                   C
I'm wishin' to Heaven to rewrite the wrongs
         G                 
And I'll buy a new canvas, 
D/F#
turn a new page
Em                C
Same old picture, brand new frame
G                    D/F#
Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie
   Em                       
If I'm supposed to be here, 
N.C.
why do I cry? And I'll
 
 

[Chorus]

G            D/F#             Em          C
 Take what's left and build a bridge again
        G             D/F#       
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be 
       Em        C
my own best friend
         G        D/F# Em C
My own best friend
 
 
[Verse]

                     G        D/F#
Might have taken the long way
                Em              C
Prayin' there's proof up in the sky
                G        D/F#
Got high on the bad days
                 Em       
Met a man on the moon, but 
          N.C.
I'm still halfway to Mars and I'll 
 
 
[Chorus]

G            D/F#             Em          C
 Take what's left and build a bridge again
        G             D/F#      
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be 
       Em        C
my own best friend
    G          D/F#   
And I might be down, 
            Em C
but I'm not dead
        G             D/F#       
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be 
       Em        C
my own best friend
          G        D/F# Em C
My own best friend
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

           G        D/F# Em C
(My own best friend)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

G                    D/F#
Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie
   Em                       
If I'm supposed to be here, 
N.C.
why do I cry? And I'll
 
 
[Chorus]

G            D/F#     
 Take what's left and 
        Em          C
build a bridge again
        G             D/F#    
Oh, and I'll take the steps to 
          Em         C
be my own best friend 
    G          D/F#  
And I might be down, 
            Em C
but I'm not dead
        G             D/F#        
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be 
       Em        C
my own best friend 
          G        D/F# Em C
My own best friend
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

           G        D/F# Em C
(My own best friend)
 
 
[Outro]

 
Why do I cry? And I'll
G
Ghosts in the mirror tell me a lie
            D/F#
Take what's left and 

build a bridge again
   Em                       
If I'm supposed to be here, 
C
why do I cry? And I'll
            G
My own best friend
                      D/F#       
Oh, and I'll take the steps to be 
       Em        C
my own best friend
N.C.
My own best friend
