(Walkup)

Verse 1:
        Am
Give me time to think it over
     Am7 C
I'm not ready to begin
       Fmaj7              C              G
I just need a little space to clear my head
        Am
We were dogs caught in a fury
    Am7 C
Thirsty for each other's blood
       Fmaj7               C
I just don't know if it's safe
       Fmaj7             C
To be standing face to face
           Fmaj7             C                  G
'Til we're both ready to change and walk as one

Chorus:
G   Am        F
Oh, dear friend
F           C      G
How did we come to this?
G   Am   F
Who are we
      F         C          G
If we can't set aside our differences?

Verse 2:
          Am
It ain't 'forgiveness and not forgotten'
    Am7 C
Always hung above our heads
       Fmaj7      C
Are we willing to erase
              G
The scroll of wrongs?
        Am
How are we to be united
      Am7 C
When our hands are always sinning?
       Fmaj7          C
We can wash away the filth
      Fmaj7           C
Stand hand in hand as friends
         Fmaj7            C
It's the rules we have to bend
        G
To walk together

Chorus:
G   Am     F
Oh, dear friend
F          C       G
How did we come to this?
G    Am   F
Who are we
F              C         G
If we can't set aside our differences?

Verse 3:
       Am
Time can be our sweet companion
      Am7 C
But it won't resolve dispute
       Fmaj7           C                G
We are bound to follow footsteps of our fathers
         Am
It ain't easy to be honest
       Am7 C
But it's what we gotta do
        Fmaj7             C
We have both ourselves to blame
         Fmaj7           C
So let's talk about your pain
        Fmaj7          C
You can hear about my pain
       Fmaj7            C             G
We can say each other's names without resentment

Chorus:
G   Am    F
Oh, dear friend
F          C       G
How did we come to this?
G    Am  F
Who are we
      F         C         G
If we can't set aside our differences?

G   Am      F
Oh, dear friend
F                         Am C    G
It doesn't always have to be like this
G   Am   F
Who we are
        F         C             G
Is more than the sum of all our differences
