D                                  G
     A long time ago when we met you were lonely

                                   D                        G
     I helped you forget life was solely only a wish to survive

                                     D
     And blood flows much thicker than wine

                                           G

     Sing you a song just to cheer you, you will be rich in the end

     Life hurries by in the wink of an eye almost without meaning

      Bm                                               F#m
     Days speeding past like the wind hard to grasp no wonder you're bleeding

       A                     G
     Friendship is needed today

                                                     D
     Or tomorrow is empty and we need each other please stay

                             G
     For our only hope is together

                                 D                                   G
     We'll live in much calmer weather, and we'll make a beautiful blend

                                D
