F#m
Sorry I'm only
D
Human you know me
Bm                     E  
Grown up oh no guess again

F#m
My days always
D
Dry up and blow away
Bm                         E  
Sometimes I could do that too
But make no mistake that

Chorus:
A         E      F#m
When you need a friend
Bm                 D
You could count on anyone
     A        E     F#m
But you know I'll defend
     Bm           D
The tragedy that we knew as
     Bm D
The end

Progress and changing
Growing then giving up
Somehow, I'm never quite prepared
But I understand that

Chorus

    A              F#m
So taking you with me would be like
 D                E
Taking all your money to the grave
A          F#m     Bm        E
It does no good to anyone especially
    A           E         F#m
The one you're trying to save
          A       E     F#m D E
But it's so hard not to save

Chorus:
A         E      F#m
When you need a friend
Bm                 D
You could count on anyone
     A        E     F#m
But you know I'll defend
     Bm           D
The tragedy that we knew as
     A
The end
