Standard (EADGBE)

I wish that I'd arrived a little sooner -

You really should have called we'd have come here right away

You tried to help yourself but you got it wrong

You've thrown yourself

 Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold

 But these are your friends

 They give out a nice warm glow

You've tried so hard to see for yourself

 Your perspective is wrong

 These are your friends

 Let them come guide you on

Listen now - now's the time to listen

 There're lessons to be learned

 I've seen this before in my own life

 You feel covered up, removed from the world around you

With all your senses dulled you'd do anything to feel

You tried to help yourself, but you got it wrong

You've thrown yourself

 Into the flames 'cause you're covered in cold

 But these are your friends

 They give out a nice warm glow

What have you done? You're cutting your cord

 You're floating in space

 But these are your friends

 They'll be your star-map home

Everybody needs some help sometimes (crescendo to the end...)
