Verse
Bm F#m
Was losing all my friends,
E5 D5
was losing them to drinking and to driving.
Bm F#m
Was losing all my friends,
E5 D5
but I got them back.
Bm F#m
I am on the mend,
E5 D5
at least now I can say that I am trying.
Bm F#m
And I hope you will forget
E5 D5
things I still lack.

[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
Is it in you now
E5 D5
to bear to hear the truth that you have spoken?
Bm F#m
Twisted up by knaves
E5 D5
to make a trap for fools.
Bm F#m
Is it in you now
E5 D5
to watch the things you gave your life to broken?
Bm F#m
And stoop and build them up
E5 D5
with warn out tools.

Bm F#m
Nothing gets so bad
E5 D5
a whisper from your father couldn't fix it.

He whispers like a bridge,
E5 D5
it's a river spanned.
Bm F#m
Take all that you have,
E5 D5
and turn it into something you would miss if

Somebody threw that brick,
E5 D5
shattered all your plans.

Of colors she left in your black and white field?
