C#m  A                E
I remember in the schoolyard
C#m          A             E
The children didn't understand
C#m      A               E
So They bullied Me with silence
C#m       A           E
Just for being who I am

So I got good at keeping secrets
I used to blend in with the crowds
On the inside I was screaming
With you I didn't have to hide

Chorus:
      A          B              E
Only You, could see that I was hurting
      A         B              E
Only You, ever cared to understand
         A             B
Always know, that I'd do the same -
       C#m
I'd do anything for You, My friend
    A  B E
It's true.

I used to stare up at the ceiling
Wide awake all through the night
While the world was busy sleeping
I was so caught up in my mind

Chorus:
Only you, could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true

  F#m
Oh, when I'm all alone
   A
A million miles away from home
        C#m                  B
You're still with Me, You'll always be
    F#m
My rock and shoulder to lean on
     A
When every hope I have is gone
     C#m                B
I'll turn to You, You know it's true

Chorus:
Only you could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true

And I know, 'til the bitter end
I'll be proud to call you my best friend
It's true, so true
