Backwards Down The Number Line

G

[Verse 1]

     C                 G          
   Happy Happy oh my friend, blow 
             D
out candles once again
                      Em         
   Leave the presents all inside, 
  Em  D   C
take my hand
             G                   
   And lets take a ride backwards 
            D*
down the number line
                             Em
   You were eight and I was nine,
                              D*    
 (A string 0-2-3) C
   Do you know what happened then?
    C
   Do you know why were still 
friends?
                             G
   Laughing all these many years
   We pushed through hardships, 
  D
tasted tears

                   Em            
   Made a promise, one to keep.
Em D C

                         G
   I can still recite it in my sleep
                  D*
   everytime a birthday comes
                                Em 
   call your friend and sing a song
                C
 or whisper it into his ears or
   write it down, just don't miss a 
G
year

[Chorus]

    G    F              C        
   You decide what it contains, 
                           G
how long it goes but this remains,
             F           C        
   the only rule is it begins, 
                 G
happy happy oh my friend (x4)

[Solo]

Em C (x2) (during first solo)

[Bridge]

   Bm                         C
   And when I see you coming down 
the line with eyes wide open
     Bm                          
   somewhere between the past and 
  C
future where you drift in time
                                 D 
   and you can see a different 
      G
point of view
