Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I could hold on to just one thought for long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast and the conversation is slow
Burn off all the fog and let the sun through to the snow
Let me see your face again before I have to go.
I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight
And I saw you in my nightmares, but I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means
Instrumental
Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites and countless idle threats
He trusted in a woman and on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
