C5C5 F5F5 E5E5 C#5C#5   x4


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

Once I had a friend that I could count
     G5G5    C5C5  D5D5
Times of need are not enough
D5D5     E5E5 F5F5    E5E5 C5C5

D5D5     E5E5 F5F5     E5E5 C5C5
Once I saw a dream I had to chase
    G5G5       C5C5 D5D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality
D5D5   E5E5 F5F5
Now let me close my eyes
E5E5 C5C5      G5G5     C5C5    D5D5
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
