when i saw him last he had that look in his eyes
C G/C Fadd9/C F/C
i said , “do you need to talk?” , he said , “no . ”
C G/C Fadd9/C F/C
so i called him up , asked him again and i waited a while
C G/C Fadd9/C F/C
he began to speak , then he started to cry
Am G F
you know some things are best left unspoken
Am G F
and some things just never work out
C G/C Fadd9/C F/C
sometimes , seems you try and you try and whatever you do
C G/C Fadd9/C F/C
there’s a fix that you’re in , and you just can’t get out
Am F Am G Am G F
he said , “i need your help , i need it now
Am F Am G C
give me the strength to go on”
though i didn’t know what i knew that something was wrong
he still had his pride , he’d tell me in time
well this feeling inside kept eating at me
i was losing a friend , and i had to know why
when i heard the voice on the phone , i knew it was bad news
so i rushed to be by his side
and we said goodbye for the last time
i gently hugged him , and kissed him goodbye
he whispered , “i need your help , i need it now .
give me the strength to go on . ”

though as time goes by , and it all becomes clear
C# G#/C# F#add9/C# F#/C#
we can see the deceit , we see the lies
C# G#/C# F#add9/C# F#/C#
so i asked myself , over and over , and over again
C# G#/C# F#add9/C# F#/C#
what did they know? what did they hide?
A#m G# F#
fools , leading the innocent blindly
A#m G# F#
fools , turning away
and i know that when i think of my friend with that look in his eyes
and if they told the truth , he might be here today
A#m F# A#m G# A#m G# F#
i need your help , i need it now
A#m F# A#m G# C#
just give me the strength to go on
