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...)
