B5           B5
Shoulder to shoulder
  G5                F#5
Amused, but not advanced
B5
He, she
B5
You, me
E5                    F#5
It's all just circumstance
B5      B5
Eager, hopeful
   G5                 F#5
Content to play the friend
B5       B5
Timid advances
     E5        F#5
With mutual regret


B5                   B#5
She can't always be wrong
                   B5
He can't always be right
                 C5
Not a matter of choice
                 C#5
Just a matter of time
                           E5
Till they know where they stand
                         B5
Once they've reached the end


B5        B5
Awkward choices
      G5                 F#5
With smiles from ear to ear
  B5     B5
A faded union
     E5                 F#5
That won't survive the years
B5        B5
Timeless series
    G5            F#5
Of blameless accidents
       B5       B5
Oh, disturbed, sightful
     E5          F#5
Of inherited mistakes


B5                   B#5
She can't always be wrong
                   B5
He can't always be right
                 C5
Not a matter of choice
                 C#5
Just a matter of time
                           E5
Till they know where they stand
                         B5
Once they've reached the end


    |  B5   E5                     B5               E5
    |       I'll be mine where I place my drafts
2X  |                  B5
    |  When the desert ends
    |     E5      B5
    |  I last the dust
