  			       C 
when I see myself  

I've seen you too  
G 
as long as I remember  

and I'm feeling like I knew 
      C 
that my jokes aren't funny 

the truth isn't true 
G 
if there was no you 

    C 
if you now boat in the deep blue sea  
G 
I probably sink you down 
C 
I know I should have thanked you for carrying me  
G                            D 
but for you I will happily drown 

G            D             Cadd9             G  
out on your way the darkest night the longest day 
C               G7              D 
I know what to say to make you laugh 
G                      D 
and nothing you could do  
                C           G7 
could make me turn my back on you 
              C 
when you're looking for it   
 G7            D 
find I'm your man  
                 Am 
when you need a friend  
             D 
you got my hand 


C 
Warren me 

what I'm trying here to say 
               G7 
is that I'm counting on you  

and you got me too 
       C 
our secrets aren't safe  

I'm singing out of tune  
        G7      D 
if there was no you 
     C 
if there was no you 


G            D           Cadd9            G  
out on your way darkest night the longest day 
C                 G7              D 
I know what to say to make you laugh 
G                      D 
and nothing you could do  
                C           G7 
could make me turn my back on you 
              C 
when you're looking for it   
 G7            D 
find I'm your man  
                 Am 
when you need a friend  
             D 
you got my hand 
                 Am 
when you need a friend  
             D 
you got my hand 
             G 
you got my hand
