_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ When [C] I saw him last he had that [F] look in his eyes
Said [C] do you need to talk?
He [F] said no
So [C] I called him up asked him again, and I [F] waited a while
He [C] began to speak
Then he started [F] to cry
You know [Am] some things [G] the best left unspoken
[F]
And _ [Am] some things [G] just never work [F] out
_ _ [C] Sometimes it seems you try and try [F] whatever you do
There's [C] a fix that you're in and you just [F] can't get out
He said I need [G] your help
[Am] I need it [F] now
[F] Give me the strength [C] to go on
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] Though I didn't know why I knew [F] that something was wrong
[C] But he still had his pride he'd tell me in [F] time
_ [C] What's feeling inside [F] kept hitting at me
_ [C] I was losing a friend and I had to know [F] why
_ [Am] When I heard the voice [G] off the phone I knew [F] it was bad news
[Am] So I rushed [G] to be by [F] his side
_ _ [C]
Then we said goodbye for the last [F] time
_ [C] Gently hugged him [G] and kissed him [F] goodbye
He [Am] whispered I need [G] your help
[Am] I need it now
Give me [G] the strength to [C] go on
We [F] were always laughing
_ _ _ _ Just [C] remember laughing mama
_ _ We were [F] always laughing
_ _ _ _ [Am] Oh I need [G] your help
[Am] I need it [F] now
_ [Am]
Give me [G] the strength [C] to go on
_ _ [C#] _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [A#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] Oh as time goes by and it all [F#] becomes clear
[C#] We can see the deceit we've seen our lives
_ So I ask myself oh I know I know again
What did they know what [G#] did they hide
_ _ [A#m]
Fools [G#] live the [F#] innocent blinding
_ [A#m] _
Fools turning [F#] away
_ _ [C#] And I know that when I think of my friend with that [F#] look in his eyes
[C#] And if they told the truth he might [F#] be here today
I _ [G#] need your help
[A#] I need [F#] it now
Give [G#] me the strength [C#] to go on _
Oh I [A#m] remember that laughing _ _ _
_ We were [G#] always laughing _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ Just take [C#] me now
Give _ _ me the strength to go on _ _
[F#] _ Just [C#] let me go _ on
_ [F#] We need the [C#] strength to go _ on
[F#] _ Oh [C#] it's time to go on _
[F#] _ Give me the [C#] strength to go on _ _
