D G A D (x2)
[Verse 1]
A D G A
Not for the first time I look back
D G A D
On all those years
A D G A
Not for the last time names will ring
D G A D
In my ear
D G A D
When there was just a gang of us
D G A D
Storming the town by train and bus
A D G A
A moment of thought this heart sends
D G A
To old friends
[Verse 2]
Em D G A
Not for the first time I look back
D G A D
On my first love
A D G A
Unable to speak or think or move
D G A D
Hand in glove
D G A D
But what of it now and where is he
D G A D
He who once meant so much to me
A D G A
Because we are not, I can't pretend
D G A D
Now old friends
[Chorus]
D Bm G D
I was told love should hold old friends
D Bm G D
I was told love should hold old friends
Bm D Bm A
But when you leave you will close the door
A
Behind you
D A
Dont' we always
G Bm A D
And time won't make amends
[Verse 3]
A D G A
Standing here with my arm around you
D G A D
Life's moved on
A D G A
And all its borderlines
D G A D
Are being redrawn
D G A D
The winter has come the roads are white
D G A D
Everyone's home late tonight
A D G A
May we stay or will it depend
D G A D
As old friends
D G A D
In the end still old friends
