These Are Your Friends

• C#m

C#m             F#
I wish that I'd arrived a little sooner -
A                                                          C#m
You really should have called we'd have come here right away
C#m                   F#                      A
You tried to help yourself but you got it wrong

E                 F#
You've thrown yourself
         A                               C#m
Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold
                   F#
But these are your friends
                A
They give out a nice warm glow

E               F#                  A
You've tried so hard to see for yourself
                    C#m
Your perspective is wrong
               F#
These are your friends
              A            E
Let them come guide you on

C#m          F#                A
Listen now - now's the time to listen
                       C#m
There're lessons to be learned
               F#               A
I've seen this before in my own life
    C#m                F#                  
You feel covered up, removed from the world around you
A
With all your senses dulled you'd do anything to feel
C#m                  F#                    A
You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong

E                 F#
You've thrown yourself
         A                               C#m
Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold
                   F#
But these are your friends
                A
They give out a nice warm glow

E             F#                        A
What have you done? You're cutting your cord
                   C#m
You're floating in space
                   F
But these are your friends
                A
They'll be your star-map home

E         F#              A
Everybody needs some help sometimes (crescendo to the end...)
