Intro: Bb  F  Bb  F  F  Dm

                F     Bb
Well you're my friend
             F   Bb   Dm
And can you see
Dm
Many times we've been out drinking
Dm                            Bb       Dm
Many times we've shared our thoughts
Dm
But did you ever, ever notice
Dm                       Bb     Am
the kinds of thoughts I got
                       Dm
Well you know I have a love
                       Bb     Am
a love for everyone I know
                       Dm
And you know I have a drive
                    Bb      Am
to live I won't let go
                    Dm                Bb                  Dm
But can you see its opposition comes rising up sometimes
                                                        Bb
That it's dreadful and positioned comes blacking in my mind

Bb               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
                         F
Did you know how much I love you?
                            Bb                        F            Dm
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?

Dm                                                    F
Well I hope that someday buddy, we have peace in our lives
             Dm                       F
Together or apart, alone or with our wives
                     Dm
And we can stop our whoreing
                     Bb
And pull the smiles inside
                 F
And light it up forever
                 Am
And never go to sleep
                  C
My best unbeaten brother
                 Am       Bb
This isn't all I see

Bb                F
Although I see a darkness
                  Bb
Although I see a darkness
                F
I know I see a darkness
                Bb
I know I see a darkness
                         F
Did you know how much I love you?
                            Bb                        F
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?
