[Verse]

A                        C# 
When I start thinking of you
      B 
Of my present and past friends
         E
I see me then inside a shell
A                    C#              
No refuge nothing to do
        D 
So they were my family
         E 
I didn’t know what could it mean


[Bridge]

F#               A  
They found their way
D          E  
So nice so straight
F#         A        D  A
They found their way
D          E  
No time to stay


[Chorus]

A  C#m  Bm                C#m          
Oh      thanks for all my friends
A  C#m  Bm                 C#m 
Oh      thanks to all that let me strand

[Verse]

A                       C# 
Some of them around the world
        B  
Someone else is still in touch
        E 
Most of them have stopped to learn
A                       C#  
One of us just seems to lose
        D 
For his scare to be betrayed
       E 
He’s behaving like a slave
