E  D A 


[Verso 1]
 
E                          
   You were born in September, the same month we finally 
D                            A 
met, when no-one we knew remembered we'd been gone last year 
E                        
  Spoke of living in England, changed your vocabula- 
D                       A 
-ry, got a girlfriend I still see every now and then 
E              
    We were just, 
D           A 
kids 
E                       
    Moved into an apartment above a two car ga- 
D                                 A 
-rage, When neither one of us had them, it was overkill 
E                               
   We'd go out drinking on Sundays, a love story in some 
D                      A 
ways, my first best friend I'll never see again 
E              
    We were just, 
D           A 
kids

E                          
    Twenty years by your side, you gave up your dream for mi- 
C#m7                      A 
-ne  It was a leap of a kind of faith I'd never known 
E                           
    Sang for you and your redhead, surrounding the death 
C#m7           A 
bed, forty years in you were just a kid 
 


[Refrão]
 
E                                 
   Now I'm all alone, out on the street 
                                        C#m7 
Singing in a phone, they're looking at me 
                                           A 
And there was a time, when I might have cared, 
                                                E    D  A 
But this one's for my best friend, he's everywhere 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E                            
   You had a million watt smile, you were a mess for a whi- 
D                             A 
-le, you never showed up on time, you were the best of them 
E                               
   Your diamond heart was a lighthouse, without you the li- 
D                           A 
ghts out, I'll miss you forever and ever, amen 
 


[Ponte]
 
E                            
   All that time chasing rainbows, driving in the ra- 
C#m7                      A 
-in, so much we had to learn from the pain of living 
E                           
   You never got to get married, and I hate where you're bu- 
C#m7                    A 
-ried, you never got old, you were just a kid 
 


[Refrão]
 
E                                 
   Now I'm all alone, out on the street 
                                        C#m7 
Singing in a phone, they're looking at me 
                                           A 
And there was a time, when I might have cared, 
A                                                E 
But this one's for my best friend, so let 'em stare 
E                                      
Just say your name, and I kiss the sky, 

And there's no space between you and I 
C#m7                                          A 
   I smile and weep, 'cause I know you're there 
                                           E    D  A 
This one's for my best friend, he's everywhere 
              E  D A 
He's everywhere 
 

Outro 
E                                               C#m7 
   Twenty years by your side, what a beautiful ride 
                          A 
Even though I've been crying, I'd do it all again 
E                                               C#m7 
    You did not have to ask me to remember you laughing 
                   A 
You know that I did, you were just a kid
