Verse 1:
A F G
Hey my friend it seems your eyes are troubled
C B G F G
care to share your time with me
A F G
would you say you're feeling low and so
C B G F G
a good i-----dea would be to get it off your mind
Chorus:
A C# F# E
See, you and me have a better time than most can dream

and hurts not much when you're around when you’re around
Verse 1:
A F G
and if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing
C B G F G
you may find you're missing all the rest
A F G
well she ran up into the light surprised
C B G F G
her ar--ms are open her mind's eye is
Chorus:
A C# F# E
seeing things from a better side than most can dream

on a clearer road I feel oh you could say she's safe

whatever tears at her whatever holds her down
