C                        Am 
If I fell into confusion 
C                           Am 
Got scared but couldn't say 
C                             Am 
If I lost my rhyme and reason 
          F                       G 
And threw away the gift of grace 
                Am               
Would you be my friend? 

C Am 

C                                Am 
If they said I don't deserve you 
C                            Am 
That my credit was no good 
C                                       Am 
If they told you I'm not worthy of your love 
    F                                   G 
And you should cut me like you cut dead wood 
                Am        G 
Would you be my friend? 
                C 
Would you be my friend? 

C Am x2 

C                                  Am 
And if you heard that I was on the town 
C                           Am 
Pissing loudly on your name 
C                                          Am 
Would you find me, would you face me down? 
            F                       G 
Though your ears burned with shame 
                Am      G 
Would you be my friend? 
                Am       G 
Would you be my friend? 
                C        Am 
Would you be my friend? 

C Am 

C                                     Am 
And if I said I wished I'd never been born 
C                             Am 
And my mouth could only curse 
C                                 Am 
If I'd passed the point of no return 
F                     G 
Like a poor, puking child in church 
                Am      G 
Would you be my friend? 
                Am      G 
Would you be my friend? 
                Am      G 
Would you be my friend? 
        C          Am 
My only friend 

C Am 

C             Am 
My only friend... (x4) 

End on Am
