C
At seventeen
G
I hadn't seen
Am
The thing that makes us real
Em
Then I found you
C
At twenty-four
G
I wanted more
Am
When no one else would listen
Em
You sang to me


[Chorus]
          C
You're my shoulder to cry on
G
You're the best of best friends
D
You brought fire to my fingers
C                  G
And brought joy to no end
   C
My brother, my sister
   G
My lover, my wife
     D
It's crazy I know
         C               Em
But this guitar saved my life

G C G D


[Verse 2]
C            G
Broken down, border town
Am
Feels like the end of time
Em
Without you
C
You came to me
G
And made me see
Am                  Em
Caress me with your honesty endlessly


[Chorus]
          C
You're my shoulder to cry on
           G
You're the best of best friends
            D
You brought fire to my fingers
            C         G
And brought joy to no end
   C
My brother, my sister
   G
My lover, my wife
     D
It's crazy I know
         C               Em
But this guitar saved my life

G C G D Em G C G D


[Verse 3]
C            G
Me with you, you with me
Am
The ghosts all disappear
Em
Naturally
C
You lay to rest
G
My emptiness
Am                            F
And show the world your beauty
        C
Through me


[Chorus]
          C
You're my shoulder to cry on
           G
You're the best of best friends
            D
You brought fire to my fingers
            C         G
You brought joy to no end
   C
My brother, my sister
   G
My lover, my wife
     D
It's crazy I know

But this guitar
                     Em
This guitar saved my life
