Intro: Em D/F# G A C D Em

Em        D/F#               G             A9
Since I was a young man I've doing what I can
      C                 D             Em
To escape the mental torture of my past     (Riff)
Em                    D/F#
I have changed all my beliefs
      G               A9
But nothing seems to last
         C          D
I need compassion, I need some patience
G               G  D  G
I need a friend

G            D      G
Do you want to be my friend?
G              D          Em
Are you holding back again?
                 C
Your confessions are my sins
           D                Em
The war inside me has to end


Em                 D/F#
Summer's fading and I am too
       G               A9
I wish I was somewhere else
            C
I feel out of place
         D              Em
Wasting time spent by myself       (Riff)
Em             D/F#
Hotel rooms and solitude
       G               A9
And the songs left in my head
          C
It's all I know but right now
D            G        G   D   G
Baby, I need a friend


G               D    G
Do you want to be my friend?
G                D       Em
Are you holding back again?
                     C
Your confessions are my sins
                D
The war inside me has to end
G               D    G
Do you want to be my friend?
G                    D        Em
I've been found out, I can't pretend
                     C
It won't stop 'til I begin
                  D
So do you want to be my friend?
