Good Friend

• G

Tabbed by: Maria :)
Tuning: Standard


Here are the basic chords for this song :) 

The notes in brackets before each section are just my personal
suggestions for how to play it accoustically with just one guitar
and try to keep the feel of the original song - they are not how 
Craig from cloud cult performs it, but they have a whole band :)

8 quick downward strums on each chord with long pause in between chords
 I knock on the guitar on the offbeats during the pauses
Intro: G   D   C   G

Oh this life is so strange, you need a sense of humor.
G                   C                 D
The maker is half caretaker and half joker.

G                                                     D
We are not broken ones...just shattered pieces of the same bright sun,
                            C
trying to figure out which way to run,
                      G
And I can't do this alone.

When I'm burning down

When I'm underground.

Life is a playground, but it takes a lot work.

You better learn to love, or it'll tear you apart,
Em
cuz in the end, we are measured by the size of our heart,
C

Some of us are laughing, while some of us are choking
D
Some of us can't change til every bone has been broken.

All the while the maker just sits there joking, 
C
"You never really were alone."
