G 
This started simple 

Like it always does 

With not much to lose 

I thought I had control 

That I could always walk away 
                    
If things turned bad 
C 
We were thick as thieves 

'til I became the one 
                      G 
Who always went too far 

And I couldn't hear you 


    C 
Now here I stand 
          G 
A pick in callused hands 
       C 
As the sun beats down 
          G 
Across my back 




C 
But in the end I'm lost 
E 
And I'll drag you down 
                   G 
Yeah, that's my cost 
        C                G 
And I'm glad you were my friend 
        C                  G 
Yeah, I'm glad you were my friend 
             C              G 
Though I may never see you again 
        C                G 
And I'm glad you were my friend 
          C                G 
Yeah, I'm glad you were my friend 
             C              G 
Though I may never see you again 
        C                G 
But I'm glad you were my friend
