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