Remem (D major) ber when I saw you standing,
slightly crying, empty -handed,
Em 
with no one that you could call your own?  (E minor) 
A 
Look (A major) ing up to someone somewhere,
asking for life with no despair,
begging for the world to
D 
leave you alone.  (D major) 
Guess I shouldn't have butted in,
but you looked as if you could use a friend,
and I'd lost one myself and was
Em 
looking about.  (E minor)

 (G major) Remember it was kinda  (A major) crazy

Here  (E minor) for a while we  (A major) helped

That time came we knew would come
When in our hearts,
Em 
well, there was love no more  (E minor) 
A 
I guess  (A major) we're just two of that kind
That look for life but never find
The love in mind that we

were looking for  (D major) 
But I'll always have a
warm spot for you
Cause at one time I adored you
Em 
And if I pass this way again, I'll shout  (E minor)

It  (G major) may be a year before
A

D 
At  (E minor) one time, we  (A major) helped each other out (D major)
