Friend (for Dave)

G         Bm7            Am7
Times the past paints in shades of blue
Em                  Am7
close my eyes and I think of you
Bm7                   D
brighter visions, the colors blend
Am7                Dsus       D
hours spent with a long lost friend
G          Bm7           Am7
seems like time tries to close the door
Em                     Am7
and a lost friend will be no more
Bm7                  D
still I long for the early days
Am7                    Dsus      D
dreams of fame and the songs we played

REF
G             C         (B)
we all need a friend to care
Am7                      D
shine your light so I'll know you're there
G                    Em
tell me if you'll be back again
Am7          Dsus D G
I want you to be my friend

these last year's we've grown apart
new fortunes now fill our hearts
things we shared may no longer be
still important to you and me
I thought good friends always last
don't leave themselves in the past
still, it seems like I could be wrong
so I write and I sing this song

REF

time's the victor and all thing pass
deepest hurts all will heal at last
love hurts as you might expect
life deals from a crooked deck
I will never understand
why love's like this man to man
these phrases are all I find
let your friendship pass down the line
