Verse:
Cm9    Cm11     Cm9            Cm11
 Danny my friend    I think you knew me better
           Fm9        Fm11
Than I ever knew you       Cause you read every chapter and
D#sus4/F            Fm11         D#add4   Cm9  Cm11  Cm9  Cm11
I just glossed right over them        and pretended I knew

    Cm9      Cm11      Cm9             Cm11
But I believed in you        I loved you for your brilliance
                   Fm9
Your way of making everything absurd
    Fm11           D#sus4/F              Fm11
And I relied on you to make me see    The foolishness of paragraphs
     D#add4    Cm9   Cm11  Cm9  Cm11
That were better as one word


Bridge:
D#add4      G#add2    D#add9     G#add2
What could I have told you, to make you think again
  D#add4      G#add2       A#maj7sus4/F  C#6/9
We draw the same conclusions, but we choose a different end


Chorus:
        Cm9   Cm11            Cm9    Cm11
Cause When you tear it down it only looks more ragged
       Fm9   Fm11         D#sus4/F    Fm11   D#add4
And when you build it up it only looks more fake
      Cm9  Cm11         Cm9     Cm11
So why not let it be at least until tomorrow
  D#add4       A#maj7sus4/F    G#add2  A#7sus4/F#
And then you just might see your sad mistake
   A#maj7sus4/F   C#6/9           Cm9  Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Cause life had more to give    than what you’d take



Verse:
Cm9       Cm11     Cm9          Cm11
Danny my friend      Forgive me if I break our rule
             Fm9    Fm11
But I think it's overdue      I really cared about you and I
D#sus4/F                Fm11    D#add4     Cm9  Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Didn't think that I could love a friend     As much as I loved you

      Cm9      Cm11         Cm9          Cm11
And we were always friends       We were Captain Jim and Billy:
               Fm9
The Superhuman Crime-Avenging Twins
Fm11                D#sus4/F
  Oh I'm gonna miss you, and I   Truly am alone now
 Fm11            D#add4   Cm9  Cm11  Cm9  Cm11
Cause there's no one to congratulate my sins


Bridge:
 D#add4      G#add2     D#add9     G#add2
I wish I could have been for you a more consistent friend
  D#add4     G#add2       A#maj7sus4/F  C#6/9
The chapters that I skipped I'm going to have to read again


Chorus:
      Cm9   Cm11           Cm9     Cm11
But when I tear it down it only looks more ragged
      Fm9   Fm11         D#sus4/F  Fm11  D#add4
And when I build it up it only looks more fake
      Cm9  Cm11            Cm9     Cm11
But I can't let it be because part of me died with you
      D#add4    A#maj7sus4/F  G#add2  A#7sus4/F#
And there's lots of pages missing from my book
   A#maj7sus4/F  C#6/9          Cm9  Cm11   Cm9  Cm11
Cause you had more to give    than what I took
