[Intro 1]
[G][A]
[D][Bm][G][A]
[D][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a best friend who [A]I’ve known
some time
And [D]after all of these years
I’ve got to [Bm]read his mind
And when [G]he leaves the
room I can feel [A]him sigh
As his [D]thoughts they slip out like [Bm]whispers
[G]Who would’ve know
it’d be this hard [A]to wait
For [D]one person to person
to commu[Bm]nicate
And it never [G]feels dramatic
while we com[A]plicate
Thank god for [D]old friends they
always for[Bm]give us

[Verse 2]
[Em]I’m longing for the house
remembering all these [F#m]days
Never done enough, everything feels great
If [G]I am not myself,
then who am I pretending to be
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Bm]And I said how a[D]m I gonna get by[Bm]
Without the [G]help of the people I [D]know
[Bm]For [D]better or worse we
[Bm]all come together
[D]And [G]they won’t let me die [D]alone
I said [G]they won’t let me die alone

[Verse 4]
[D]And[G] I’ve got a sister
who [A]I barely see
Despite [D]the fact the [Bm]lives right
up the block from me
And when [G]we run into [Bm]each
oth[A]er on the street
[D]It’s like two stranger[Bm]s soul to soul
[G]When I was younger she
was young[A]er too
It seems [D]the space is the only
thing [A]that really [Bm]grew
And [G]now we’re both grown up
and still without [A]a clue
Thank god [D]for family they
always for[Bm]give us

[Verse 5]
I’m[Em]thinking of the house
where we were always raised
In [F#m]every family tree some history remains
If [G]I am not myself,
then who am I pretending to be
[A]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[Bm]And I sa[D]id how am I gonna get by[Bm]
Without the [G]help of the people I [D]know
For better or worse we
[Bm]all come together
And [G]they won’t let me die [D]alone
I said [G]they won’t let me die alone
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Maybe [G]I’m not supposed
to be [Bm]close[Em]
To all of the [G]people I need the [Bb]most,
need the most
[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[A][Bm]
And I said [D]how am I gonna [Bm]get by
Without the [G]help of the people [A]I k[D]now
[Em]For [D]better or worse we[Bm]
all come together
[D]And [G]they won’t let me die [A]alone

[Verse 9]
I said now [D]how am I gonna [A]get [Bm]by
When I’m a[G]fraid of the people I [D]know
For better or worse [Bm]we
all come together
And [G]they won’t let me [D]die alone
I said [G]they won’t let me die [D]alone
I said [G]they won’t let me die [D]alone
I said [G]they won’t let me die alone
