Best Friend: Let me take you back

To the time when we were chasing all the girls

Two maniacs

Indulging in the pleasures of this world

So much to see, so much to live for

Questions to answer, places to go
G# Gm F# C#
So much to be, so much to care for

Deep down inside I think you know

You are free... come back to me!

Look ahead and see

Making up for all the time that we have lost
