Hello there my old friend, not so long ago it was till the end
A E7 F#º D7
we played outside in the pouring rain on our way up the road we started over again
F#º D7 E7
living a dream , woe you on top (?)
F#º D7 E7
my mind is achin, Lord it won't stop
F#º D7 E7 A A
that's how it happens, living life by the drop
^---- only 2/4 here
Up and down the road in our worn out shoes
talking about good things and singing the blues
you went your way and I stayed behind
we both knew it was just a matter of time
living a dream woe you on top
my mind is aching Lord it won't stop
that's how it happens living life by the drop
No wasted time ,we're alive today
churnin up the past, there's no easier way
time's been between us a means to an end (???)
God, it's good to be here, walking together my friend
living a dream
my mind starts thinking
that's how it happened living life by the drop
that's how it happened living life by the drop
