Roses From My Friends

Ben Harper

	G	D	Am
	I could have	treated you	better

But you couldn't have treated me worse

But it's he who laughs last

It is he who cries first

Sometimes I feel I know strangers

better than I know my friends

Why must a beginning

be the means to an end?

When the last word has been spoken

and we've beared witness to the final setting sun

All that shall remain is a token

of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken

And distant church bells no longer ring

That's the sound of a heart taken

and the story of tears from a king

This may be the last time I see you

Forgive me for holding you close.

This may be the last time I see you

So of this moment I will make the most.

This may be the last time I see you,

But if you keep me in your heart -

together we shall be eternal

If you believe - we shall never part.
