Verse 1:
A
I had a friend before, and
A
He was a lot like you
E
I helped him fight through war, but
E
He had his demons too
A                        E
And then we grew apart
A                        E        D
Then his light went dark

D
And so, I thought
A
Maybe, if I made a different call
E
Maybe if I hadn't missed it all
A                    E
Maybe, he'd be fine
A                    E
Maybe we'd unwind
A
Maybe, if I help another soul
E
Maybe, if I helped you reach your goal
E                        A
Life could be that bright
E                    A            D
I could sleep at night

Verse 2 (capo on 1):
A
Athena, I don't know who your friend is
A
I don't know what he's like, but
E
My time with you has been splendid
E
The best day of my life
A
Cause I got in a fight, and I didn't die
E
I've never felt strong before
A
You're my friend, I couldn't ask for more

A
And so, I think
A
Maybe, if life wasn't spent as planned
E
Maybe, it's time that you lend a hand
A                        E
I don't think he'll mind
A                            E
If not his friend, then mine

Verse 3:
A
(Maybe) to fall is to learn one way
E
(Maybe) it's all gonna turn out great
A                    E
I know we'll be fine
A                        E        D
I know it's light you'll find

Athena:
                    A
You're a good kid
