but the tablature part hasn't been validated.

B F#m7 E
If I could hold on to just one thought for long enough to know
B F#m7 E
Why my mind is moving so fast and the conversation is slow
A E
Burn off all the fog and let the sun through to the snow
B
Let me see your face again
A E /
before I have to go.

B F#m7 E
I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night
B F#m7 E
I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight
A E
And I saw you in my nightmares, but I'll see you in my dreams
B
And I might live a thousand years before
A E /
I know what that means

Once there was a friend of mine who died a thousand deaths
B F#m7 E
His life was filled with parasites and countless idle threats
A E
He trusted in a woman and on her he made his bets

Once there was a friend of mine
