lyrics

C G Am F
I’ve got a friend, my friend, he’s sad most days so he pretends
C G Am F
And my friend, some days that’s all ya got
C G Am F
Yes I’ve got a friend my friend, he’s trying hard to make amends
C G Am F
With the happiness he thinks he’s left behind
G Am
And I do my best to help him tell him things will turn around
F C G
But my words don’t mean quite as much unsung
G Am
After a million miles of cigarettes, and a dozen tanks of gas
F C G
We’re no less messed up than when we started
F C G
Cuz everyone feels terrible and no one is unique
F C G
And sometimes you need to hear more than hey cheer up
F C E Am
You can spill your hurt into a notebook or throw it in a song
F G C
Just make sure that I know the words so I can sing along
C G Am F
No one is exempt from all of these bad times
C G Am F
Everyone will have to pay their dues
C G Am F
Cuz I had a loved one die on me and I had my love run out on me
C G Am F
And because of all of that I drink too much
C G Am F
And I lost my dad to booze and I feel like I am gonna lose
C G Am F
Myself if someone doesn’t take the wheel
C G Am F
Ya I’m aching for the good ol’ days, nostalgia keeps the wolves at bay
C G Am F
Oh trust me friend, I know how you feel
G Am
I’ll drink until I fall asleep, I’ll fill my lungs with tar
F C G
But the hangover it just isn’t worth the pain
G Am
I’ll wear his fingerprint around my neck and her heart upon my arm
F C G
And we’ll bury their ashes with a tree out back
F C G
Cuz everyone feels terrible and no one is unique
F C G
And sometimes you need to hear more than hey cheer up
F C E Am
You can spill your hurt into a notebook or throw it in a song
F G C
Just make sure that I know the words so I can sing along
C G Am F
So listen up my friend my friend, I swear to you this is not the end
C G Am F
Things can’t get any worse so they’re getting better
C G Am F
So take good things from those around you, don’t let the bad vibes surround you
C G Am F
I promise man, we’ll get through this together
G Am
Cuz you owe it to yourself to be a happy human being
F C G
And that’s all anyone will ever ask of you
G Am
So lose yourself in happy songs and live a life electric
F C G
Leave a scorch mark on the Earth when you depart
F C G
Cuz everyone is beautiful and everyone has merit
F C G
And sometimes you just need a friend to cheer you up
F C E Am
You can spill your hurt into a notebook or throw it in a song
F G C
Just make sure that I know the words so I can sing along
