Am F C G (4x)
Am F
Best Friend: Let me take you back
C G Am F C G
To the time when we were chasing all the girls
Am F
Two maniacs
C G Am F C G
Indulging in the pleasures of this world
F Em D# A#
So much to see, so much to live for
F Am C G
Questions to answer, places to go
F Em D# A#
So much to be, so much to care for
F Am C
Deep down inside I think you know
G Am F C G Am F C G
You are free... come back to me!
Am F
Look ahead and see
C G Am F C G
There are still so many borders we could cross
Am F
Just you and me

Making up for all the time that we have lost
