[Intro]
Am F C G
[Verse]
Am F
Call it in the air, it’s it heads or is it tails?
C G
Add it to the list of every time that I have failed while
Am F
Clamouring for this and that, the color of the winning hat
C G
What will come to mind when you give St. Pete a chat
Am F
Standing by those pearly gates, the ones you love and ones you hate
C G
All stand hand in hand and patiently they wait
Am
But Pete you know I’ve thought it through,
F
there’s so much that I’ve yet to do
C G
That’s the rub my son, it’s not really up to you
[Chorus]
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend
C G
Do you weep for yourself?
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend,
C G
Could you weep for me?
[Verse]
Am F
I’ve been a busy gettin’ dizzy bee, I’ll slow down in infinity
C G
I used to say, with grinning teeth
Am F
Now that I’m here I wish I stayed longer in each passing day
C G
Cozied up to every one and given each a name
Am F
The ones I can recall are nice, but what a debt to bet on dice
C G
How can we ever know which ones define our life
Am F
Did you do the best you could, would the bad outweigh the good?
C G
That’s all we really ask, and it's all we really should
[Chorus]
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend
C G
Do you weep for yourself?
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend,
C G
Could you weep for me?
[Verse]
Am F
What about the ones still there, how long ‘til they stop to care
C G
For me, like a broken chair
Am F
Like anything, well who can tell, but how long should they really dwell
C G
on you, before they’re well
Am F
They have all their own devices, ring ‘em up to see their prices
C G
They’ll be here soon enough, now doesn’t that sound nice
Am F
That’s what it means to be alive, you’re only born so you can die
C G
Hello, then goodbye
[Chorus]
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend
C G
Do you weep for yourself?
Am F
Hey there friend, there there friend,
C G
Could you weep for me?
[Outro]
Am F
That’s what it means to be alive, you’re only born so you can die
C G
Hello, then goodbye
