For A Friend

Phil Collins

Transposer:

Intro: / Fadd9/ / x4 When I saw him last he had that look in his eyes I said "Do you need to talk?" he said "No." So I called him up asked him again and I waited a while he began to speak then he started to cry You know some things are best left unspoken and some things just never work out Sometimes seems you try and you try and whatever you do There’s a fix that you’re in and you just can’t get out He said "I need your help I need it now Give me the strength to go on" Though I didn’t know what I knew that something was wrong He still had his pride he’d tell me in time Well this feeling inside kept eating at me I was losing a friend and I had to know why When I heard the voice on the phone I knew it was bad news So I rushed to be by his side And we said goodbye for the last time I gently hugged him and kissed him goodbye He whispered "I need your help I need it now. Give me the strength to go on." F/C Cadd9 We were always laughing I just remember laughing mama We were always laughing Oh I need your help I need it now Give me the strength to go on / add9/ #/ x2 Though as time goes by and it all becomes clear We can see the deceit we see the lies So I asked myself over and over and over again What did they know? What did they hide? Fools leading the innocent blindly Fools turning away And I know that when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes And if they told the truth he might be here today I need your help I need it now Just give me the strength to go on Bbm Ab F#add9 I remember the laughing We were always laughing Oh no it’s just strength we need now Just the strength to go on...

La chanson évoque une profonde connexion entre deux amis, l’un d’eux traversant une période difficile. L’ami tente de cacher ses souffrances, mais finit par se livrer et exprimer son besoin d’aide. Une quête de soutien et de force se profile alors, alors que l’autre ami ressent un sentiment d’urgence face à la détresse de son camarade. Leur complicité, marquée par des souvenirs de rires, est mise à mal par une réalité douloureuse, marquée par la perte et des non-dits. Le contexte de cette chanson pourrait être lié à une situation tragique, où la santé mentale et la véritable amitié sont mises à l’épreuve. La chanson nous rappelle l’importance de tendre la main et d’être présent pour ceux qui souffrent, même lorsque les mots semblent insuffisants. C'est un appel à l'écoute et à l'empathie, soulignant combien le soutien peut être vital dans les moments de crise.
