            Em                 Bm
I have seen peace, I have seen pain
Am                                D
resting on the shoulders of your name
                Em
do you see the truth
                   C
through all their lies
                                       D
do you see the world through troubled eyes

Chorus:
G                 Bm                 Em
and if you want to, talk about it anymore
                  C
lie here on the floor
  G D        C              G
cry, on my shoulder, of a friend

I have seen birth, I have seen death
Lived to see a lover's final breath
Do you see my guilt?
Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?

Chorus

D                             B
you and i have lived through many things
     Em                 C
I'll hold on, to your heart
D                       G
I wouldn't cry for anything
B
but don't go, tearing your life apart

I have seen fear, I have seen faith
Seen the look of anger on your face
And if you want to talk about what will be
Come and sit with me and cry on my shoulder
I'm a friend

Chorus:
And if you want to talk about it anymore
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder
Once again
Cry on my shoulder
I'm a friend
