Best Friend: Let me take you back
B F# G#m E B F#
To the time when we were chasing all the girls

Two maniacs
B F# G#m E B F#
Indulging in the pleasures of this world
E D#m D A
So much to see, so much to live for
E G#m B F#
Questions to answer, places to go
E D#m D A
So much to be, so much to care for
E G#m B
Deep down inside I think you know
F# G#m E B F# G#m E B F#
You are free... come back to me!
G#m E
Look ahead and see
B F# G#m E B F#
There are still so many borders we could cross

Just you and me
B F# G#m E B F#
Making up for all the time that we have lost
