[Verse 1]
Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
No one really knows about your soul
And I barely really know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
And a bunch of fools drown in shame

[Chorus]
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

[Verse 2]
Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harm's way?
Warding off all evil signs
But never really kept you safe
Now you're too young for the golden age
'Cause the record bin's been replaced
27, gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink

[Chorus]
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of

[Bridge]
Amy, please don't go...
Amy, please don't go...

[Verse 3]
Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May I have this last dance
By chance if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby?
So we can sing you to sleep

[Chorus]
Amy, don't you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

[Outro]
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
