Hello, Old Friend.
written by Natalya Z
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
This dark place feels so familiar
Am
This empty space is back again.
C
But I'm stronger, wiser, more resilient
G
& I'll fight until we both give in.
Fmaj7
This chronic case is unforgiving
Am
It suffocates but I recognize
C
When I welcome it in - let it think it's winning
G
We can coexist in this life of mine.
[Chorus]
Fmaj Am
Hello old friend in the shadow
C
Looking to battle
G
Looking for me.
Fmaj7 Am
You’re always raising your arrow
C
I tried to outrun you
G
But you won’t set me free.
[Verse 2]

Fmaj7
Hello there. Welcome back. Please come in.
Am
Door wide open I was hopin’
C
I would never see you again
Fmaj7
But you’d Pick the lock. Slide right though
Am
I could never hide from you

So here we are now arm in arm
How I have learned to [deal with you]
[Chorus]

Hello old friend in the shadow

Looking for me (looking for me)

It all helps me see.
