[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
When things were good, I knew you would
Always be there for me
Yes, it's true, friends like you
Are few and far between
I wish I may, I wish I might
The things you do ain't quite right
Just ain't right
[Chorus]
And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend
[Post-Chorus]
Don't turn your back...
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]
[Verse 2]
When things were bad, you always had
Something else better to do
It's just a lie to think that I
Could ever mean anything to you
You steal what's mine then help me look for it
How many times do I pay for it?
How many times?
[Chorus]
And still we try to pretend
That you will be here in the end
The best advice that I can lend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend
Don't ever turn your back on a friend
And still we try to pretend
Don't turn your back on a friend
The best advice that I can lend
Don't turn your back on a friend
[Outro]
Don't turn your back...
