( verse )

Am Em
my old friend , i recall

F C Dm G
the times we had hangin’ on my wall

Am Em
i wouldn’t trade them for gold .

F C F C
they laugh and they cry me , somehow sanctify me ,

F C Dm G
they’re woven in the stories i have told , and tell again

( verse 2 )

Am Em
my old friend i apologize

F C Dm G
for the years that have passed since the last time you and i

Am E
dusted off those memories

F C F G
the running and the races , the people and the places

F C G G
there was always somewhere else i had to be , and time gets thin

Am

Am Em
my old friend , this song’s for you

F C Dm G

all of the sadness and the tears .
