Hello there my old friend
F#m D5
Not so long ago it was till the end
A5 E5
We played outside in the pourin' rain
F#m D5
On our way up the road we started over again
F#m D5 E5
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
F#m D5 E5
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
F#m D7 E A5
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
A5 E5
Up and down the road in our worn out shoes
F#m D5
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
A5 E5
You went your way and I stayed behind
F#m D5
We both knew it was just a matter or time
F#m D5 E5
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
F#m D5 E5
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
F#m D7 E A5
That's how it happened livin' life by the drop
A5 E5
No waste of time we're allowed today
F#m D5
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
A5 E5
Times been between us, a means to a end
F#m D5
God its good to be here walkin' together my friend
F#m
Livin' our dreams
