[Verse 1]

At seventeen I hadn't seen

The thing that makes us real then I found you

At twenty-four I wanted more

When no one else would listen you sang to me

[Chorus]

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

And brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar saved my life

[Verse 2]

Broken down, border town

Feels like the end of time without you

You came to me and made me see

Caress me with your honesty endlessly

[Chorus]

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

And brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar saved my life

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Me with you, you with me

The ghosts all disappear naturally

You lay to rest my emptiness

And show the world your beauty through me

[Chorus]

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

You brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar

This guitar saved my life
