Goodbye To Old Friends

Intro (0:00)

F#m



Verse (0:07)

F#m
It's not that I don't love you
Or are tired of your ways
               E
I want you to know

       F#m
That's I'm always thinking of you
You know I'd take you with me
           E
Wherever I go



Verse (0:36)

       F#m
But I catch myself in the mirror
And I remember I gotta do something 
          E
about my life
          F#m
For I'm as empty as the clothes that
 I laid
Crumpled where they fell to the 
  E
floor



Verse (1:04)

        F#m
I'm as empty as the ten green 
bottles
Hanging in my mind from the night 
  E
before
       F#m
And an ashtray full of moments
Spent thinking about the things I 
            E
should have done



Chorus (1:30)

                          F#m
I say goodbye to another old friend
Continues after the ad
Yeah they stayed through thick and 
E
thin
                              F#m
Through the laughter and the tears
                              E
Through every state that I've been 
in

                            F#m
And I know they don't wanna hurt me
                           E
But I can see it in their eyes
                         F#m
That they're killing me so gently
                     E
How can I ever say goodbye



Verse (2:26)

        F#m
For as young me we clattered through
 these streets
                           E
And how we hit this town running
    F#m
And we were so sure of being us
We flattened everything that stood 
         E
in our path
      F#m
Now I wake up and I have to find 
myself
Through all the shit that once told 
         E
me who I was



Chorus (3:04)

                         F#m
I say goodbye to so many old friends
                          E
Here I left them to the wind
And there ain't much point in 
 F#m
chasing
The things you can never get back 
 E
again

                               F#m
But there's still some life in this 
one
                             E
Give me a match and I'll reminisce
                         F#m
Of a time when we were younger
                                 E
And we were stealing our first crack



Verse (3:58)

                               F#m
And our thoughts had turned to dying
                            E
And we were unaware at the time
                              F#m
That this ride it could ever fall...
                             E
Could ever slow down to this time...



Verse (4:24)

For I've been drunk and stoned and 
 F#m
feeling mellow
And that's how I've been getting 
E
through
                               F#m
Looking at the blurry shapes around 
me
                           E
Thinking I knew more than I knew



Verse (4:52)

                           F#m
And it's not that I don't love you
                     E
Or are tired of your ways
                         F#m
If I could only take you with me
                          E
If I could only ease this pain
