Intro:             
            Em                 Bm
I have seen peace, I have seen pain
Am                                D
resting on the shoulders of your name
               Em
do you see the truth
                  C
through all their lies
                                     D
do you see the world through troubled eyes
G                   Bm               Em
and if you want to, talk about it anymore
                C
lie here on the floor
          C             G
G-D                         
cry,on my shoulder, of a friend
            Em                 Bm
I have seen birth, I have seen death
Am                           D
lived to see a lovers final breath
              Em
do you see my guilt
              C
should I feel fine
                                 D
is the fire of hesitation burning bright
G                   Bm                  Em
and if you want to, talk about it once again
           C
on you i depend
                  C               G
     G-D                          
I'll cry, on your shoulder, your a friend
Dsus2                            B
you and i have lived through many things
     Em                 C
I'll hold on, to your heart
D                     G
I wouldn't cry for anything
     B
but don't go, tearing your life apart
                Em                 Am
I have seen    fear, I have seen   faith
Am                              D
seen the look of anger on your face
G                   Bm                   Em
and if you want to, talk about what will be
                  C
come and sit with me
           C              G
G-D                        
cry, on my shoulder, I'm a friend
G                   Bm               Em
and if you want to, talk about it anymore
                C
lie here on the floor
           C              G
