Intro:   D D D A

       A             D
In the middle of his life
A           D
He left his wife
F#m               Bm
And ran off to be bad
F#m         Bm  E
Boy, it was sad

        A           D
But he bought a new car
A           D
Found a new bar
F#m                    Bm
And went under another name
F#m                 Bm  E
Created a whole new game

(bass notes:
E F#)   G    G/F#     Asus4  D Asus4  Bm
And the days went by like paper in the wind
G    G/F#  Asus4    D    Asus4   Bm
Everything changed, then changed again
G                   D
It's hard to find a friend
G                   D      Asus4  Bm
It's hard to find a friend


Meanwhile then
His wife's boyfriend moved in and
Took over the house
Everybody was as quiet as a mouse
And it changed their lives
Changed their plans
Slowly they grew apart
Boy, it woulda broke your heart

And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend
