1. verse 
G                         D             G   G/A  G/B   C
It's longer than and stronger than some old cold memory 
            G                D/F#      
It's the power of dreams we had back then 
        Em      D/F#      G
And the will to set them free 
G                             D                    G    G/A    G/B   C
Through all the years, the doubts, the fears, the pain and the poverty 
G                            D/F#
You were always one to stand your ground 
Em      D/F#      G
I was born an escapee 


    G                   D                  C           Em
It sometimes seems that looking back gives my life clarity 
  G                     D/F#          Em    D/F#      G           
So I raise my glass to you my friend wherever you may be 

2. verse
The toast goes out to absent friends but how absent can you be 
When every word you ever said 
Lies deep inside of me 
You're out there somewhere smiling at the same sad irony 
That what we seek and what we find's 
Not always what we need 


    G                   D                 C            Em
It sometimes seems that looking back gives my life clarity 
  G                     D/F#          Em    D/F#      G           
So I raise my glass to you my friend wherever you may be 
    G                   D              C               Em
And I'll take my solace in the wine and smile the memory 
    G                      D/F#           Em    D/F#      G           
And I'll raise my glass to you my friend wherever you may be 
  G                     D/F#          Em    D/F#      G           
I'll raise my glass to you my friend wherever you may be
