[Verse]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Old   friends. Old   friends.
Dm/F         G7           
Sat on their park bench like 
   C       Am
bookends.
  G                                
A newspaper blown through the grass
              Am
 falls on the round toes
       Am/G              Fmaj7 
of the high shoes of the old   
Cmaj7
friends.

[Verse]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Dm/F       G7   
Old   friends. Winter 
       Fmaj7 Em7
companions, the old   men.
Dm/F          G7        C       
Lost in their overcoats waiting 
        Am
for the sunset.

[Bridge]
    G                           
The sounds of the city, shifting 
         Am
through trees
            G           F         
settle like dust on the shoulders 
       Dm9         Am
of the old friends.

[Middle 8]
Dm/F     G7        Cmaj7        
Can you imagine us years from 
     F6        Fm6        Cmaj7
today, sharing a park bench quietly?
    Dm/F     G7            Asus4
How terribly strange to be seventy.

[Verse]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7    Dm/F   G7        
Old   friends. Memory brushes 
  Fmaj7 Em7
the same  years.
G                    C    Am
Silently sharing the same fears.


Bookends theme:
Dm/F                              
Time it was and what a time it 
           Cmaj7
was, it was a ...
          F                    
A time of innocence, a time of 
Cmaj7
confidences
Dm/F                        
Long ago it must be, I have a 
  C
photograph
              F
Preserve your memories,
                   C
they're all that's left you.
