I wrote about the speed of sound,
C#mDA
on the day you made it to the End.
A
You Lived through prison,
E
you killed and were Forgiven,
C#mDA
but I'm Grateful to have Known you as my Friend.
F#mDA
Your life left me so confused,
ED
you said "I'm a lot like you."
AF#mDA
Oh so it goes, can't tell the wind which way to blow.
AF#mDA
Oh so it goes, Rotterdam on fire.
AF#mDA
Oh so it goes, you're always sort of all alone.
AF#mDA
Oh so it goes, some Other Place on fire.
(No chords for this part or you could play the verse quietly)
Little Sister used to ride her bicycle to work
smuggling machine guns underneath her skirt.
You used to hide a knife inside a bible,
cyanide in an apple, in case you need to start again.
AE
In 45' at Nuremberg, horrific words and justice served,
C#mDA
but you testified to set your jailor free.
AE
I asked you why, you said "he was a decent guy,
C#mDA
and I'm sure he would have done the same for me."
F#mDA
Your life left me so confused,
ED
you said "I'm a lot like you."

You can't make peace without an enemy.
C#mDA
You can't be forgiven without sin.
F#mED
We're all looking for a love that's gonna set us free,
F#mEA
but first you must forgive the man you've been.
