B            
Shoulder to shoulder 
  C#m                F#7 
Amused, but not advanced 
B 
He, she 
Abm 
You, me 
E                    F#7 
It's all just circumstance 
B       
Eager, hopeful 
   C#m                F#7 
Content to play the friend 
B       Abm 
Timid advances 
     E        F#7 
With mutual regret 
B                   B5+ 
She can't always be wrong 
                   B6 
He can't always be right 
                 Abm 
Not a matter of choice 
                 C#m 
Just a matter of time 
                           E 
Till they know where they stand 
                         B 
Once they've reached the end 
B         
Awkward choices 
      C#m                 F#7 
With smiles from ear to ear 
  B     Abm 
A faded union 
     E                 F#7 
That won't survive the years 
B         
Timeless series 
   C#m             F#7 
Of blameless accidents 
       B       Abm 
Oh, disturbed, sightful 
     E          F#7 
Of inherited mistakes 
B                   B5+ 
She can't always be wrong 
                   B6 
He can't always be right 
                 Abm 
Not a matter of choice 
                 C#m 
Just a matter of time 
                           E 
Till they know where they stand 
                         B 
Once they've reached the end 

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