two-seater sofa and some whiskey in a bottle.

   Broke and in tears with

       A                          E
   the weight of the world on his shoulders.

   Somebody once told me that
there are watchers and
                                C#m
   there are do'ers in this world.
Guess I'm a watcher, not by choice,

   it's just what I was told.
We're just two friends,
                        B
