            Verse 1:
A                                B    
I've got a best friend who I've known some time
           E                             C#min
And after all of these years I've got to read his mind
             A                    B
And when he leaves the room I can feel him sigh
         E                          C#min
As his thoughts  they slip out like whispers
A                              B
Who would've know it'd be this hard to wait
        E                   C#min
For one person to person to communicate
              A                      B
And it never feels dramatic while we complicate
               E                      C#min
Thank god for old friends they always forgive us

            Pre-Chorus:
       F#min                        
I'm longing for the house remembering all these days
 Ab
Never done enough, everything feels great
   A                      B
If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be

            (Chorus)
            E                 C#min 
And I said how am I gonna get by
             A                   E
Without the help of the people I know
     E                 C#min 
For better or worse we all come together
         A                 E
And they won't let me die alone

            Verse 2:
And I've got a sister who I barely see
Despite the fact the lives right up the block from me
And when we run in to each other on the street
It's like two strangers soul to soul
When I was younger she was younger too
It seems the space is the only thing that really grew
And now we're both grown up and still without a clue
Thank god for family they always forgive us

            Pre-Chorus
I'm thinking of the house where we were always raised
And every family tree some history remains
If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be

            (Chorus)
And I said how am I gonna get by
Without the help of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone


            Bridge:
F#min     A                  C#      E
Maybe I'm not supposed to be close
F#min         A                      C#           E     B
To all of the people I need the most need (the most)

      Chorus:
And I said
How am I gonna get by 
Without the help of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
      
I said now
How am I gonna get by
When I'm afraid of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
