Tom: Bm

Bm            G
Darkness like midnight
Bm                Em
Moonless, there's no light
 Em            C     Bm F#
Another lonely day is ending
Bm           G
Searching forever
Bm          Em
Waiting but never
G           G    G       F#m
Finding the only thing I dream of
    Bm          F#m
The warmth of a smile
     G           D
That stays for a while
    G         D                 A
The face of a friend that won't leave


[Verse 1]
D C#m Bm A

D                 C#m                        Bm
 I heard a song once, it posed this point of view
                   A                    D
That wishes made on stars are likely to come true
                   C#m                 Bm
So here's my secret, at bedtime every night
                            A                            G
I searched the sky and hoped to find a star who'd send a light


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
To me
    G           F#m
The one thing I need
     A#                   Am
Just one kind soul with a heart of gold
       Gm                                         A
And my dreams became real and I finally feel not alone
A       N.C.
Do hugs always make you feel this warm?


[Chorus]
D            F#m
 My wish came true
             G
The day that you appeared
    A
And called me friend
D          F#m
 An answered prayer
            Bm        F#m       Bm   F#m
A chance to share the world, to be a girl
    E             A
Who finally felt alive


[Verse 2]
D C#m Bm A

D             C#m
 I'm so excited, we'll do so many friendship things
Bm                                               A
Paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys
                    D
Attached, but not by strings
                          C#m
And when you've got problems
                            Bm
Whoa, then I've got problems too
                       A
You'll never face this world alone
                         G
I'll be right here, it's you


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
And me
   G                                  F#m
Protectors of each other's what we'll be
    A#                      Am
You saw my soul through the nuts and bolts
           Gm                                                 A
You're the friend I can trust, helped me see I'm not just a machine
A      N.C.
And is this what "all the feels" means?

[Bridge]
       Em                     F#m     G
I been combat-ready since the day Dad made me
Em                   F#m       Bm
  Now I'll fight for something more
Bm            F#m            G
  Might sound wholesome, but strangely
A#                     A
  I've got friends I'm fighting for
      G     F#m
But I found that
  Em                        G       F#m
Humanity, it came with sacrifice, a pact
   Em
To shield you from the wicked
     G    F#m   F         G
Even if I can't live for real
       A
It was worth it to know you


[Chorus]
D            F#m
 My wish came true
             G
The day that you appeared
    A
And called me friend
D          F#m
 An answered prayer
            Bm        F#m       Bm   F#m
A chance to share the world, to be a girl
    E             A
Who finally felt alive
