Bm 
Took a friend I found

In time to forgive her

Pre-Chorus 1:

Bm              D                F#         F#7
Why must people always want what they can't have

Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp

How did we get so far

How did we move so fast away

From the lilac-lillied lake

    D               F#
I'm sure we used to stay 

      F#7         
Is it only a dream away

Verse 3:

Lost a friend I found
Down some blood red river
Never did find my way home 
In time to forget her

Why must people always want what they can't have
Why must people always take but forget to ask

              away ... yeah
