Old Friends Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

D Em

Old friends in a deep groove

F♯m Bm A G

We still got something left to prove

(Repeat same chords as above throughout verse)

With no plans and no kids

And so much water under the bridge

Old friends in a new town

We don’t need a reason to go get down

A G

All I want to do

D D/C

Is reminisce for an hour

D/B D/A

Blow a kiss and devour

D/G D/F♯ Em

All the love in the world could be ours

Sour grapes turn to fine wine

They just need a few years on a winding vine

With my eyes shut and my mouth closed

I listen for the train and the whistle blows

Like a school bell or a rotary phone

I’ll go back to the well when I get back home

All I want to do

Is pretend for a night

That the end’s out of sight

For old friends I will leave on a light

Old friends on a new guitar

And there’s so much whisky at the bar

All I want to do

Is disappear down the hall

In the mirror on the wall

And that look on your face says it all

All I want to do

Is pretend for a day

That the end’s still a light year away

For old friends who will say:

“We’re you there, when the spirit spilled?”

Some kinds of love can’t be distilled
