Intro: A B
E A/E
People, I don't understand them
B A E B/D#
Never can, I never could
C#m G#m
The more I get to know
A B
The less I think I should
E
They don't mean, the things they say
A
Or say the things they mean
B
You got to try and find the message
C#m B
Somewhere in between
E
But songs are such good things
A
They never change their tune
B
They fill up lonesome evenings
C#m A B
And empty afternoons
E
Songs make such easy friends
A
All you do is sing along
B C#m B A
And you can't stay a stranger to a song
E A/E
Everyone seems to be moving
B A E B/D#
Moving up or moving on
C#m G#m
Just when you try to touch them
A B
That when you find they're gone
E
We pass through, each others lives
A
Then fade into the past
B
You just don't know who to believe in
C#m B
No one seems to last
E
But songs are such good things
A
They never change their tune
B
They fill up lonesome evenings
C#m A B
And empty afternoons
E
Songs make such easy friends
A
All you do is sing along
B A E
And you can't stay a stranger to a song
A
Old songs, new songs
E
Bright songs, blue songs
A B
Sweet songs, soul songs
Good rock and roll
E
Songs make such easy friends
A
All you do is sing along
B C#m B A E
And you can't stay a stranger to a song...
