These Are Your Friends

C#m             F#

I wish that I'd arrived a little sooner -

A                                                          C#m

You really should have called we'd have come here right away

C#m                   F#                      A

You tried to help yourself but you got it wrong



E                 F#

You've thrown yourself

         A                               C#m

Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold

                   F#

But these are your friends

                A

They give out a nice warm glow



E               F#                  A

You've tried so hard to see for yourself

                    C#m

Your perspective is wrong

               F#

These are your friends

              A            E

Let them come guide you on



C#m          F#                A

Listen now - now's the time to listen

                       C#m

There're lessons to be learned

               F#               A

I've seen this before in my own life

    C#m                F#                  

You feel covered up, removed from the world around you

A

With all your senses dulled you'd do anything to feel

C#m                  F#                    A

You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong



E                 F#

You've thrown yourself

         A                               C#m

Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold

                   F#

But these are your friends

                A

They give out a nice warm glow



E             F#                        A

What have you done? You're cutting your cord

                   C#m

You're floating in space

                   F

But these are your friends

                A

They'll be your star-map home



E         F#              A

Everybody needs some help sometimes (crescendo to the end...)
