Well the first time i remember walking home from school
You jumped the fence on dolphin road and i followed you
We tried our first contraband under the tires in that playground
We rode our bikes and got crazy picked up our guitars til our fingers bled
Every time i think back, makes me feel so alive
You're my [A]best mate
I'll always appreciate
Even when the lines are stɾaight
Then we went off to [C7]college
You to [C7]the west me to [C7]the east
And you [A7met your future wife on [C7]valentines day in '89
When my [A]father passed you [A7were the first one to [C7]call
Everybody was [Am7]spread out so damn wide it was [Am7]easy to [C7]drop the ball
Every time i think back, makes me feel so alive
You're my [A]best mate
I'll always appreciate
Even when the lines are stɾaight
Well i know it sounds corny
I'd dive in the mud for [Dm7]you
You'll always be [Am]my [A]best mate yeah
One of the darkest days i ɾemember April 30, 2010
I never did get that call [Em]you [A7promised me back then
You're my [A]best mate
I'll always appreciate
Even when the lines are stɾaight
Well i know it sounds corny
I'd dive in the mud for [Dm7]you
You'll always be [Am]my [A]best mate yeah
I dont know what else to [C7]say
Yeah we talked almost every day
Sometimes i dont know what to [C7]do without you
