[Intro]
C  G  Dm  Am
C  G  F

[Verse 1]
Am
   You were my closest friend,
G
   my strength when days go mad
Dm
   But I spent my time and
           Am
   shallow sheets,
    I should've seen your hand
Dm
   I didn't see the signs,
C
   was blinded by the lights
G
  And lost where I belong

[Verse 2]
Am
   I thought that we grow old,
G
   give kids all bad advice
Dm                             Am
   Now I'm alone, you went and left
   me with these sleepless nights
Dm
   You took my warmth and soul,
C
   left me with doubt and cold
G
  Is this where I belong?

[Chorus 1]
C
Gone are the days of young,
G
 better run for cover
        Dm
There's no one here to save
             Am
you from yoursеlf when
                     C
you'll discover it's hard
               G             F
You don't know how to carry on
C
Gone arе the days have of young,
G
 better run for cover
     Dm
When everything you love is
      Am                C
lying six feet under, I know
               G                  F
You don't know how but you carry on

[Verse 3]
Am
   These days are longer now,
G
   my nights spent wondering why
Dm
   And I get mad inside,
       Am
   did you fight back or even try?
Dm
   You didn't see the signs,
C
   were blinded by the lights
G
  You lost where you came from

[Verse 4]
Am
   We're not so different no,
G
   we grew up wanting more
Dm
   But I found it easy 'cause
     Am
   I left my morals at the door
Dm                      C
   You took an honest turn,
                        G
   I watched you fall apart

You lost before you started
