[Verse 1]
AbAnd now, is it too lEbate to say
How you mDbade my life so difAbferent in your qEbuiet way?
I can sAbee the joy in siEbmple things,
A sunlit sDbky and aAbll the songs we uEbsed to sing.
I have waFmlked and AbI have I pDbrayed.
I could foAbrgive and C7we could start aFmgain.
AbIn the Bbmend,
You are my oAbne tEbrue fAbriend.
[Verse 2]
For Aball, all the times you cEblosed your eyes,
AlDblowing me to stAbumble or to be surEbprised,
By lAbife, with all it's twEbists and turns.
I made misDbtakes, you alAbways knew that EbI would learn.
And when I lFmeft, it's yAbou who stDbayed.
You always kAbnew that C7I'd come home aFmgain.
AbIn the Bbmend,
You are my oAbne tEbrue frAbiend.
[Chorus]
Though love may bDmreak, it never dAmies.
It changes sGmhape, through changing eDmyes.
What CI deFnied, I now can Emsee.
You always wDmere the light inside of Cme.
F#mI know, I know, I know, I know Bmit was you.
E7I have waF#mlked and AI have prDayed.
I could foArgive and C#we could start aF#mgain.
AIn the Bmend, you are my oAne tE7rue frAiend.
My oDne tE7rue frAiend.
I alDways, alE7ways kAnew,
I alDways knew that Ait was you,
My oDne tE7rue frAiend.
