Intro: G Am F C

Verse: 

G           Am                F             C               
There was a time when I would lie and say I needed you
G               Am           F          C
'Cause I didn't have nowhere else to go
G            Am                F
Yeah, you go your way, I'll go mine
                    C
We'll get together, have ourselves a good time
G              Am                     F            C
There ain't no use, tryin' to squeeze blood from a stone

Chorus:

    G Am      F      C
Oh, I    will go on without you
G              Am                   F        C
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
   G Am          F      C
If I    should hold on I'd drown too
G                 Am        F          C
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

The best friend I got said if you can wake up every day
And ask yourself how can I be a better friend
Yeah, when the angels come they're coming down to take you away
You're the one who's gonna have to pay in the end

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
If I should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

Yeah, come tomorrow I'll start again
Yeah, I'll never need you and lose myself

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
If should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by

Oh, I will go on without you
This ain't the first time I've been high and dry
I should hold on I'll try to
I'm gonna have to fight but I will get by
