Seems like forever weve been together

Hey, how long has it been?
C      F                               C
Friend, I hope you know that youre my hero

Never once thought of yourself

Always there to help
F                    G
Man youre something else

Chorus 1
C                        F
In the dark you were the light
F                          C
when the truth was hard to find
 C                               G
When I needed someone to call me on it
                          C
Youd call me on it every time
                                      F
Through all the good, through all the bad
                         C
I knew you always had my back
                             G
The best part of being who I am
                           C
Is that I get to call you friend
F                          C
Some got em by the hundreds
F                                  C
But when that thunder comes a-rumbling
F                C
Theyre off and running
F                         G        C
Makes me glad that I got one good friend
F                                   C
God knows youve had your moments, too
F                         C
Sometimes I wonder if you knew
F                         C
How it meant the world to me
F                        G
To get to be a friend to you

Chorus 2
C                          F
And when I stumble, when I slip
                 C
You never let me quit

Always knew just what to say
       G
What I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it
C                                     F 
Through all the good, through all the bad
                         C
I knew you always had my back
                              G
The best part of being who I am

Is that I get to call you ....my...old friend

In the dark you were the light
F                          C
When the truth was hard to find
C                                 G
When I needed someone to call me on it
G                        C
Youd call me on it every time
C                                     F
Through all the good, through all the bad

When i look back on this crazy life
F                              C
At least I know I got one thing right
