Em
Chasing out the door
getting up the floor
C
running from a problem
             D
like you've never run before
Em
feeling kinda strange
never outta range
     C
you duck another volley
          D
then you turn around the page

         C             D/F#     G
but you never leave a friend behind
     C             D/F#     G
you never leave a friend behind
        Em       A               D
no you never no never don't you ever
          G       C
leave a friend behind

Burning like a dog
sweating like a hog
eating up the streets
where nobody ever meets
looking for a party
running outta money
nowhere you can turn
yeah someone's on the run

but you never leave a friend behind
you never leave a friend behind
no you never no never don't you ever
leave a friend behind

D                 C
I'm on the tour bus
G/B             C
getting such a mess
            D                 C
oh when we said blood brothers
       G/B
oh we didn't mean this
       A#
no we didn't mean this

Chasing out the door
getting up the floor
running from a problem
like you've never run before

but you never leave a friend behind
you never leave a friend behind
no you never no never don't you ever
leave a friend
you never leave a friend behind
no you never leave a friend behind
no you never no never don't you ever
leave a friend behind
