_ [G] But I find myself in [C] reverie
_ [G] About what we might have had and what [C] might have been
[G] We had something going once
That was such a long, [D] long time [G] ago
It [Am] [G] was way back in [C] 76
_ _ [G] Our friendship formed the [C] pure innocence
_ [G] We first met in Matthew [C]
Street
[G] Well, we heard something that [D] could set us [G] free
_ [D] [Em] A _ sign [D]
[G] stands over a door
It says, four lights, [D] it shook the world

friend Johnny went away

But [D] time well turned to [G] him
And now when I see him, we still [C] talk
But there's [G] no light [D] shining in his eyes
_ [G]
And Susie, she was [C] seventeen
_ [G] And the beauty in this world
[C] I swear you'll never [G] see
I was gonna be king

_ [D] somewhere [C] tonight
[Em] Out on [G] the street
_ [D] Somewhere [C] [D] beneath the city [G]
streets
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by

_ _ [C] _ [G] Peter's seen his dreams come [D] true
That [G] don't make him no hero
He's [C] just one of the lucky [G] few
And a man can't change the world these [C]
days
I still [G] believe a [D] man can change his own destiny
But [G] the price is high
God [C] has gotta be paid
[G] For everyone who survives
For [C] all many who [G] fail
I've seen my friends caught out in [C] that _ [G] crossfire
All the [D] chains that hold us fast
On the funeral pyre
[Em] _ _ _ [G] I'll never give in
[D] Until the day that I die
_ _ [Am] I'll get myself [B] [C] some independence
[Em] _ Caught out [D] of the future with [Em] my true best _ [D] hands
Oh, my friend, oh, my _ _ [G] friend
[D] Somewhere [C] tonight
[Em] Out on [G] the street
[D] Somewhere [C] beneath [D] the city [B] [G] streets
In [C] the eyes of strangers [G] who pass [Em] me by
[G] _ [C] Oh, life is [G] cruel, and so [Em] I'll die
_ [C] _ _ _ It's a bullet of seven, [D] he said

[Em] Same as they did for us then
[G] _
_ Mercy lights shine bright in [Em] the distance
Where are you now, my _ friend?
You [G] see, some nights when I can't [C] sleep
I [D] still think of you _

_ [D] _ _ _ to [G] shine
