          C	Am    Em    F     C      G
          C	Am    Em    F     C      G  

         C				       Em
The good times that we’ve shared, I’ll remember
       	Am			       G
But the hard times and the bad, I won’t forget
We’ve learned our lessons many times over
All the mistakes we’ve made I never will regret  

D				      F#m
I don’t know why you’ve always been a friend to me
        Bm			          A
Lord knows all I deserve is your hate
But because you’ve always been here with me
I’ll be there for you through all your mistakes  

Chorus
	     D
There’s so much I want to tell you
	A
And so many times I’ve tried to
	G	     A		        D
But my friend I just don’t know what to say
       G		    A
But today I have to try
 G	D/F#	 Em
For right now we say good-bye
	G	          A		D
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
   G		          A
I don’t know when our paths will cross
                D	   A/C#	     Bm
But I’m sure that I hope they do
	G		A
And I guess that what I’m trying to say is
G	     A	D
Thanks for being you  

All our hopes and dreams…oh, what vanity
But in one another we’ve learned to trust
And what I’ve learned is how to face “Reality”
But that logic and truth give in to love  

Bridge
        C			F
But we’ve learned how to question
	Am	G         C
So that we may understand
          D	  	 G
Why life is not so simple
	Bm		A	B
When it takes you by the hand
