[Verse]
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Danny my friend I think you knew me better
Fm9 Fm11
Than I ever knew you Cause you read every chapter and
D#sus4/F Fm11 D#add4 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
I just glossed right over them and pretended I knew

Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
But I believed in you I loved you for your brilliance
Fm9
Your way of making everything absurd
Fm11 D#sus4/F Fm11
And I relied on you to make me see The foolishness of paragraphs
D#add4 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
That were better as one word

[Bridge]
D#add4 G#add2 D#add9 G#add2
What could I have told you, to make you think again
D#add4 G#add2 A#maj7sus4/F C#6/9
We draw the same conclusions, but we choose a different end

[Chorus]
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Cause When you tear it down it only looks more ragged
Fm9 Fm11 D#sus4/F Fm11 D#add4
And when you build it up it only looks more fake
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
So why not let it be at least until tomorrow
D#add4 A#maj7sus4/F G#add2 A#7sus4/F#
And then you just might see your sad mistake
A#maj7sus4/F C#6/9 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Cause life had more to give than what you’d take

[Verse]
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Danny my friend Forgive me if I break our rule
Fm9 Fm11
But I think it's overdue I really cared about you and I
D#sus4/F Fm11 D#add4 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Didn't think that I could love a friend As much as I loved you

Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
And we were always friends We were Captain Jim and Billy:
Fm9
The Superhuman Crime-Avenging Twins
Fm11 D#sus4/F
Oh I'm gonna miss you, and I Truly am alone now
Fm11 D#add4 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Cause there's no one to congratulate my sins

[Bridge]
D#add4 G#add2 D#add9 G#add2
I wish I could have been for you a more consistent friend
D#add4 G#add2 A#maj7sus4/F C#6/9
The chapters that I skipped I'm going to have to read again

[Chorus]
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
But when I tear it down it only looks more ragged
Fm9 Fm11 D#sus4/F Fm11 D#add4
And when I build it up it only looks more fake
Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
But I can't let it be because part of me died with you
D#add4 A#maj7sus4/F G#add2 A#7sus4/F#
And there's lots of pages missing from my book
A#maj7sus4/F C#6/9 Cm9 Cm11 Cm9 Cm11
Cause you had more to give than what I took
