You have to do the best you can
C
Good friend of mine
G F
Some day our paths may cross again
C
In a better time
G
I know
F
You know, you know you know that
C G F
I pulled the thorn out of your side
C
When I walked away
G F
I took the rock out of your shoe
C
On that very day
G
I pray
F
You'll forgive me for not leaving sooner
C G F
You are the star in my heart
C
Guess you've always known
G F
Though we are many worlds apart
C
I am still your friend
G
And friends
F
Will always be friends forever
C G F
Don't waste your precious thoughts on me
C
And my tired dreams
G F
Your soul is bursting at the seams
C
You are finally free
G
To be
F
Even more than you could ever dream of
C G F
You'll learn to hold your head up high
C
You'll make your stand
G F
You'll look the world straight in the eye
C
You will never blink
G
To think,
F
I almost held on too long to help you
C G F
You are the star in my heart
C
Guess you've always known
G F
Though we are many worlds apart
C
I am still your friend
G
And friends
F
Will always be friends forever
