I Just Needed A Friend

First Aid Kit


Tom: G

    G                          C
So, I could just sit here, listening to the breeze
           D                 C           G
Say we're all gonna die that curable disease
G                                 C  
So I'm ready to be taken wherever it takes me to
        D                     C             G
But I'd rather just sit here, waiting for you

G                          C
So look, see here, this is all that I am
     D                     C        G
Some amateur painting in a golden frame
G                         C
Forgive me, forgive me is all I have left
D              C        G
I guess I just needed a friend


[Chorus]
C                       Em
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
C                   Em
Hold me close, I am full of these fears
C            Em
Here where I stutter and shake
D    C     G
Only a mistake


G                              C
Now we can play dress-up, yes, I'll play the part
     D                        C              G
I'll stand up and laugh at my own frightened heart
G                      C    
Ha-ha, ha-ha! Ain't it absurd how things can turn?
     D                                  C             G
It's these kinds of nights, I forget the lessons I've learned

G                          C
So look, see here, this is all that you are
  D                       C                G
I tried to find out how I broke down these walls
G                        C
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it had to be that way
  D            C        G
I guess I just needed a friend


C                       Em
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
C                   Em
Hold me close, I am full of these fears
C            Em
Here where I stutter and shake
D    C     G
Only a mistake

C                       Em
Words that once sounded sweet to my ears
C                   Em
Hold me close, I am full of these fears
C            Em
Here where I stutter and shake
D    C     G
