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
