Best Friend

R1: (When your best friend's all strung out)

You do everything you can

'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down

(When you find it all around)

Yeah, it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start

Am

1. Feelings sleeping in the field again

I can feel, I can feel, I can feel

Am Dm Em

It's beginning to end

Am

Premonitions smiling in the dark

I can see, I can see, I can see

The story's starting to arc

It dries up

Am

X: I've been a spoken word

Am

I've been a river bed

Am

I've been a rabid force

Am

And let it flow out from within

Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white

And color's so oh

R2: (When your best friend's all strung out)

You do everything you can

'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down

(When you find it all around)

Yeah you say it's what you need

And hide your eyes when you're close to me

(With your feet up in the clouds)

Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start

2. Waves in theta sleeping into dreams

I can feel, I can feel, I can feel

The celestial beings

Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath

I can see, I can see, I can see

The beauty in the mess

It dries up

X: I've been a river bed

I tried to salt the wound

I've carried more than I can

I feel I've got a lot to prove

Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white

And color's so oh

R3: (When your best friend's all strung out)

You do everything you can

'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down

(When you find it all around)

Yeah you say it's what you need

And hide your eyes when you're close to me

(With your feet up in the clouds)

You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you wanna go

(With your head hanging upside down)

Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start

*: I am here, no matter where you are

I'm waiting here with open arms

No matter where you are

Sometimes you have to wait until it passes by

Like a satellite or star

No matter where you are

(When your best friend's all strung out)

You know it! Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh

(With your feet up in the clouds)

Oh yeah, you know it! Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh

(When your best friend's all strung out)

Am

Oh yeah, you know it!

You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you wanna go

(With your head hanging upside down)

Am

Oh yeah, you know it!

That's how you know

That your best friend's all strung out
