Tom : D
D G Bm G D G Bm G
[Verse 1]
D G
Summer was the best
Bm G
A life of peace before this mess
D G
Bumble bees and smoke free air
Bm A
Living life without a care
[Chorus]
D G
We promised that we'd have each other's backs
Bm A Asus4
When the world was in flames we made a pact
D G
Oh how could you just turn on me like that
Bm A Asus4
How could you just let me be attacked
D G
Oh you were my friend
Bm A Asus4
I thought we'd be together til the end
[Próxima Parte]
D G
Oh you were my friend
Bm Asus4
I thought you'd stick by me until the end
[Verse 2]
D G
We won the war then lost it all
Bm G
Locked behind these great big towering walls
D G
Please don't leave me in my time of need
Bm A
Can't you see I'm hanging by a string
[Verse 3]
D G
And as the sun set on the horizon
Bm A
And the music filled the air
D G
Under the oak tree we made a promise
Bm Asus4
I remember I was there
(moment of silence)
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
D G
Oh you were my friend
Bm A
I thought you'd stick by me until the end
[Bridge]
D G
And we were sitting on the bench
Bm A
You said let's run away together
D G
Oh tell me how'd it come to this
Bm A
How'd we get so far from brothers
D G Bm A
Friends forever
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
D G
Oh you were my friend
Bm A
I thought you'd stick by me until the end
