Standard (EADGBE)

listen close, as close as I am to you

like the bell of liberty, Ill ring a sound thats true

and days go by and seasons too

in time our love may digress with the words we can renew

Ill tell you that I

I love you by and by

I dont know if Id survive

without a friend like you in my life

and I know words can be the worst to purvey

how it is I feel for you its hard for me to say

but if we keep it simple I think its better that way

tangled words tend to lead my messages astray

Ill tell you that I

I love you by and by

I dont know if Id survive

without a friend like you in my life

this web we weave holds us hand in hand

and if we loosen our grips we may weaken these strands

so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land

and if we dont we may find ourselves washed up with the sand

Ill tell you that I

I love you by and by

I dont know if Id survive

without a friend like you in my life

Ill tell you that I

I love you by and by

I dont know if Id survive

without a friend like you in my life
