[Intro] C5 F5 E5 C#5 x4 [Verse 1]
D5         E5  F5            E5    C5
Once I had a friend that I could count on

      G5             C5    D5
So I thought, well, so it seemed

D5        E5  F5          E5  C5
But times of need are not enough

              G5         C5    D5
To prove your friendship to me now

D5        E5  F5          E5  C5
Once I saw a face that I believed in

       G5          C5    D5
But a mask was all there was

D5            E5  F5           E5         C5
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces?

        G5         C5      A5
Well, I guess I'll never know
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A5
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people

A5
With nothing to say

A5
Beer on their minds and smoke in the air

A5                                A#5
Call them friends, but they just don't care
[Chorus 1]
F5         C5
Friend for life

D5                     A5     A#5
Such shallow words for broken minds

F5        C5         D5
Show me a friend for life

F5              C5               D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

A5   A#5
When I'll feel alive

F5      C5               D5
I'll be waiting for that day
[Verse 2]
D5           E5 F5        E5 C5
Once I found a love I had to know

             G5                   C5  D5
Now we might know each other just too well

D5                  E5  F5           E5        C5
Because when we're together we just can't get enough

   G5                           C5  D5
Or is it we just can't get what we want?

D5         E5 F5          E5 C5
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it

        G5             C5  D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality

 D5                 E5 F5             E5 C5
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine?

        G5         C5      A5
Well, I guess I'll never know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A5                G5 A5
But as I sit here alone

A5                                    G5 A5
Think of the girl who came softly inside me

A5                                    G5 A5
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair

A5                                 A#5
Call her my own, but is she really there?
[Chorus 2]
F5         C5
Love for life

D5                     A5     A#5
Such noble words for noble minds

F5         C5      D5
Show me a love for life

F5         C5                     D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

      A5  A#5
When I'll feel alive

F5      C5               D5 C5 A5 G5 E5 F5
I'll be waiting for that day
[Breakdown] A5 A5 A5 A#5 A5 A#5 A5 A#5 [Chorus 1]
F5         C5
Friend for life

D5                     A5     A#5
Such shallow words for broken minds

F5         C5        D5
Show me a friend for life

F5         C5                     D5
Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

      A5  A#5
When I'll feel alive

F5         C5            D5
I'll be waiting for that day
[Outro]
D5         E5  F5             E5 C5
Once I had a friend that I could count

         G5        C5    D5
Times of need are not enough

D5          E5  F5        E5  C5
Once I found a love I had to know

             G5                   C5  D5
Now we might know each other just too well

D5         E5 F5         E5 C5
Once I saw a dream I had to chase

        G5              C5  D5
Dreams quickly turn to reality

D5      E5 F5
Now let me close my eyes

E5 C5           G5          C5       D5
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
