Dm                F 
 Well, you're my friends. 
Bb            F     Bb 
 And can you see? 
Dm 
 Many times we've been out drinkin', 
                            Bb 
 Many times we shared our thoughts. 
Dm 
 But did you ever, 
                                    C  Bb 
 Ever notice the kind of thoughts I got? 
Am                        Dm                       Bb 
 Well, you know I have a love, a love for ev'ry - one I know. 
Am                      Dm                      C  Bb 
 And you know I have a drive to live I won't let go.

Dm 
 Well, can you see its opposition 
       Bb 
 Comes risin' up sometimes, 
      Dm 
 That it's dreadful imposition 
                       Bb 
 Comes blacking in my mind,

                  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 
 Here's a hope that somehow you 
                        F        Fsus    F 
 Can save me from this darkness.

 Dm 
 Well, I hope that someday buddy, 
                           F 
 We have peace in our lives, 
  
 Together or apart, 
Dm                    F 
 Alone or with our wives, 
                      Dm 
 And we can stop our whoring 
                            Bb 
 And pull the smiles in - side 
                        F 
 And light it up for - ever 
                   Am 
 And never go to sleep 
                   C 
 My best unbeaten brother, 
                   Am      Bb 
 This isn't all I seek.

                 F 
 Oh, no, I see a darkness, 
                 Bb 
 Oh, no, I see a darkness, 
                 F 
 Oh, no, I see a darkness, 
                 Bb 
 Oh, no, I see a darkness,  
                           F 
 Did you know how much I love you? 
                            Bb 
 Here's a hope that somehow you 
                        F 
 Can save me from this darkness.
