[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][F]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
"He's [G]a quiet [Em]man,"[Am]
that's all she [F]said[G][C]
And he's a thoughtful [G]man
It's just he likes [Am]to keep his thoughts
up [F]in his [G]head[C]
[G]And we finally meet,
[Am]and she tries to draw him out a bi[F]t[G][C]
She says "He's writing [G]something,
Hey [Am]now,
why don't you talk [F]about [G]it?"
[Dm]And he doesn't make [Am]a sound
He's just star[Dm]ing at his c[Am]offee
And I know [F]there's all this beau[Am]ty
And this great[Dm]ness she'll [G]de fend
But I think it's in my [C]friend
[G]I[Am][F][G]
[C]have a friend in[G]
a bright and distant [Am]town
She's found a common
[F]bal[G]ance[C]
Where you do your work,
and you [G]do your love
And they pay [Am]you,
and praise your many [F]talent[G] s[C]
Well I'm passing [G]through,
and we know we won't [Am]sleep
She laughs, puts up [F]the [G]tea[C]
She says [G]"You know I think you re
[Am]member [F]every [G]part of me."
[Dm]An d the water starts to b[Am]oil
And [Dm]if I had a camer[Am]a
Showing [F]all the light we give
[Am]And showing where the [Dm]light extend[G]s
I'd give it to my [C]friends
[G][Am][F][G]
[C]Sometimes I s[G]ee myse[Em]lf fine,
[G]som[Am]etimes I need a witne[F]ss
[G]And[C] I like the whole [G]truth
But there [Am]are nights I only need
[F]forgive[G]ness[C]
Sometimes they [G]say "I don't
know who you [Am]are
But let me walk [Dm]with [F]you some"[G]
And I [C]say "I am alone,
[G]that's all
You can't [Am]save me from all
[Dm]the [G]wrong I've done."
But [Dm]they're waiting just
[Am]the same
With their [Dm]flashlights and
their [Am]semaphores
And I'll [F]act like I [Am]have faith and like
that [Dm]faith nev[G]er ends
But I really just have [C]friends
