Well, you're my friends.
Bb F Bb
And can you see?
Dm
Many times we've been out drinkin',
Bb
Many times we shared our thoughts.
Dm
But did you ever,
C Bb
Ever notice the kind of thoughts I got?
Am Dm Bb
Well, you know I have a love, a love for ev'ry - one I know.
Am Dm C Bb
And you know I have a drive to live I won't let go.
Dm
Well, can you see its opposition
Bb
Comes risin' up sometimes,
Dm
That it's dreadful imposition
Bb
Comes blacking in my mind,
F
And that I see a darkness,
Bb
And that I see a darkness,
F
And that I see a darkness,
Bb
And that I see a darkness?
