to all my friends

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[mando: c d g c / c d g // c d g-d-c c]

to all my friends, if i never see you again hope this song will find you well

[mando: d d c g]

if you look carefully before you're crossing the street

you can avoid me

approaching from the left if not from the right

please try to avoid me

staring comfortably at the sky or at the sidewalk

only one of those is exciting

please do look ahead at the nice scenery

or run away like you're lightning

[c g c g ]

high mountains and desert valleys

warm sunshine and empty alleys

melting sidewalks and naked hands

burning slowly on this land

cloudy windows and rising waves

discovering all the pleasant ways

to enjoy everything you say

treat every day like a saturday

[d c d c d c g g]

your silhouette accompanies me during my morning commute

a ghost peering decisively into my hands

the outline of an angel, hovering a few inches off the ground

until my chem professor tells me that i failed

i have to redo a lab report

i'm still being watched, but now also by myself
