Verse 1:
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Once I had a friend that I could count on
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
So I thought, well, so it seemed
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
But times of need are not enough
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
To prove your friendship to me now
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Once I saw a face that I believed in
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
But a mask was all there was
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces?
G5G5 C5C5 
A5A5
Well, I guess I'll never know
Pre-Chorus 1:
A5A5
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
A5A5
With nothing to say
A5A5
Beer on their minds and smoke in the air
A5A5 
A#5A#5
Call them friends, but they just don't care
Chorus 1:
F5F5 C5C5
Friend for life
D5D5 A5A5 A#5A#5
Such shallow words for broken minds
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5
Show me a friend for life
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
A5A5 A#5A#5
When I'll feel alive
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5
I'll be waiting for that day
Verse 2:
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Once I found a love I had to know
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
Now we might know each other just too well
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Because when we're together we just can't get enough
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
Or is it we just can't get what we want?
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
G5G5 C5C5 D5D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality
D5D5 E5E5 F5F5 E5E5 C5C5
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine?
G5G5 C5C5 A5A5
Well, I guess I'll never know
Pre-Chorus 2:
A5A5 G5G5 A5A5
But as I sit here alone
A5A5 G5G5 A5A5
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
A5A5 G5G5 A5A5
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
A5A5 A#5A#5
Call her my own, but is she really there?
Chorus 2:
F5F5 C5C5
Love for life
D5D5 A5A5 A#5A#5
Such noble words for noble minds
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5
Show me a love for life
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
A5A5 A#5A#5
When I'll feel alive
F5F5 C5C5 D5D5 C5C5 A5A5 G5G5 E5E5 F5F5
I'll be waiting for that day

Because I don't want to see anything anymore
