[Verse 1]
E A
Esther's been reading books
E/G# A
She's changed the way that she talks and the way that she looks
E A
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
F#m B
She's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose
[Verse 2]
E A
Esther's been watching movies
E/G# A
And she must have seen someone that she would like to be
E A
With looks like hers she could be on the screen
F#m B
But she's the worst actor that I've ever seen
[Chorus]
E B
Esther I've known you for ages
E E/G# A
And I've watched you through all the changes
E/C# E/C
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
E/B E/Bb
But now we're becoming strangers
[Instrumental]
F#m B F#m B
[Verse]
E A
Esther's been burning bridges
E/G# A
I remember the time when she turned religious
E A
But soon she turned her back on the church
F#m B
And brushed it aside to continue the search
[Bridge]
G#m C#m
Because Esther's been searching for something
G#m C#m
She doesn't quite know what it is
G#m A
Yes Esther's been looking for something
Am7 B
Maybe something that doesn't exist
[Spoken]
F#m B E A
Esther, isn't it funny how we don't do the things we used to do?
F#m B E A
You don't think about that anymore Esther, but Esther, I still think about you
[Verse]
E E/A
Esther's been getting lonely
E/G# E/F#
After she cut herself off from the only
E A
People on whom she could depend
F#m B
People who were happy to call her their friend
[Chorus]
E B
Esther I've known you for ages
E E/G# A
And I've watched you through all the changes
E/C# E/C
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
E/B E/Bb
But now we're becoming strangers
A
Oh Esther
B
Oh Esther
