Dm F C Once I had a friend that I could count on G Dm So I thought, well, so it seemed But times of need are not enough To prove your friendship to me now Once I saw a face that I believed in But a mask was all there was So who wears the masks and who wears the faces? Well, I guess I'll never know A But as I stand here alone in a room full of people With nothing to say Beer on their minds and smoke in the air A# Call them friends, but they just don't care Chorus: F C Friend for life Dm A A# Such shallow words for broken minds F C Dm Show me a friend for life F C Dm Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive A A# When I'll feel alive F C Dm I'll be waiting for that day Once I found a love I had to know Now we might know each other just too well Because when we're together we just can't get enough Or is it we just can't get what we want? Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it Dreams quickly turn to reality Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine? Well, I guess I'll never know But as I sit here alone Think of the girl who came softly inside me The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair Call her my own, but is she really there? Chorus: Love for life Such noble words for noble minds Show me a love for life Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive When I'll feel alive I'll be waiting for that day Friend for life Such shallow words for broken minds Show me a friend for life Because I'll be waiting for that day to arrive When I'll feel alive I'll be waiting for that day Once I had a friend that I could count Times of need are not enough Once I found a love I had to know Now we might know each other just too well Once I saw a dream I had to chase Dreams quickly turn to reality Now let me close my eyes Because I don't want to see anything anymore | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
