[Intro] |F C/E |Dm |C G/B |F | [Verse 1]
Am          G             D
 Year after year I've all watched you fall

Am            G          D
 And pick yourself up again

Am              G    Em                 D
 And time after time we've all seen you crawl

C        G/B           Am
 2 AM, 3 sheets in the wind

F             G      Am
 back to your only friend
[Chorus]
Dm                  C
Is it me or is it her tonight?

Dm                       C
Will it be somebody else tomorrow?

Dm                   Am
Is that you? I can't tell anymore

F           C/G         Dm
The line between us has narrowed

Bb       F              G
Will you walk that line again?

Am           G    F
Back to your only friend
[Verse 2]
Am    G          D
These days we've all gone a little crazy

Am             G                  D
But you're way beyond the rest of us

Am          G        Em              D
Your shadow shows up long before you do

C          G/B       Am
Covered in ashes and dust

F     G                   Am
Not a soul that you can trust
[Chorus]
Dm                   C
 Are you lonesome or just confused?

          Dm                         C
Is it your head or your heart that's broken?

Dm                                 Am
 Are you still the victim? Is that still your lame excuse?

    F                      C/G      Dm
Why you've closed every door I ever opened

Bb             F             G
Will they stay closed at the end?

         Am          G         F
Will you blame it on your only friend?
[Bridge]
G       Em                    Am
So many times in my mind I've left you

G                                       Am
On the side of some dark road along the way

G                      F
And so many times I've wept for you

      Am                                  D        F
Guess I always knew we'd wind up here someday, someday
[Solo] |Am G |D |Am G |D | |Am G |D |Am G |D/F# | [Verse 3]
Am         G       D
So here we are the moon is bright and full

Am             G             D
Shining like a big ol' yesterday

Am      G          Em              D
We both know those days were beautiful

        C                G/B         Am
But for me, they're long ago and far away

F       G                   Am
And for you they're here to stay
[Outro-Chorus]
     Dm                               C
It's time for us to wake up from this dream we shared

  Dm                            C
A dream that ends two different ways

Dm                      Am
Don't blame me 'cause I chose to walk away

F        C/G                   D
From the bright lights and the haze

Bb               F              C
No one else left here now to offend

       Bb           F          Gm
But on me you could always depend

   Bb        F          G
So don't you dare condescend

             F           G      Dm
Just say goodbye to your only friend
