"Thoughts For A Friend"

[intro]
C                                G

[Verse 1]
G                              C
Each day he lived he just grew younger
    D                          G
And where he looked he'd never been
Em                              Am
The nights were more an endless wonder
C                           D
Each day the most he'd ever seen

[Verse 2]
G                            C
His mild approach was more a way of life
D                        G
His way of living just a ball
Em                         Am
And scarcely did he wonder was he safe
C        Bm              Am
It never bothered him at all

[interlude]
Em      Bm      Am      Em      Bm      Am      G

[verse 3]
G                     C
At times appreciation deafened him
D                               G
Those nights he'd smile and not believe
Em                             Am
And when the lights were going up on him
C                              D
Each step he couldn't quite conceive

[verse 4]
G                          C
And each day I wander down along the street
D                           G
Alone with thoughts about a friend
Em                        Am
So helpless never looking up to see
C             Bm         Am             G
Each life we never can defend
