Old Friend

Intro 

G D Am C/G 

G          D Dsus4 
  Hey, old friend 
                Am Am7 
Sleeping in the road again 
                C C7 
Waiting for the world to end 
G          D Dsus4 
  Here you are 
               Am Am7 
Never near and always far 
             C C7 
Just another false alarm 


[Verso 1]

G                       Em 
  Cast aside collecting dust 
                         C 
Months pass by till it's enough 
C                       D Dsus4 
To lose the shape I was 
G                         Em 
  All your stories get revised 
                          C 
Crafting truth on brittle lies 
C                             D Dsus4 
Sculpted fictions can't align 



[Pré-Refrão]

Em                         C 
  If you're rationing your love 
                     Bm 
What is it a symptom of? 
    C 
Too weak to hold, too cruel to touch 
Em                           C 
  Is there something I could do? 
                          Bm 
Break the lens you see me through 
      C 
Would I still have something to prove? 



[Refrão]
 
G          D Dsus4 
  Hey, old friend 
                Am Am7 
Sleeping in the road again 
                C C7 
Waiting for the world to end 
G          D Dsus4 
  Here you are 
               Am Am7 
Never near and always far 
             C C7 
Just another false alarm 
G         D Dsus4 
  Tell me why 
                        Am Am7 
You still don't see the signs 
                   C C7 
Is it better to be blind? 
G D Am C/G 


[Verso 2]
 
G                          Em 
  Playing games of life or death 
                    C 
Pay the tax in your distress 
C                       D Dsus4 
And I clean up your mess 
G                               Em 
  Fold your hands, fall to your knees 
                             C 
Picking wounds to watch them bleed 
C                       D Dsus4 
In your church of misery 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Em                        C 
  Bind my legs so I can't run 
                    Bm 
Need to be the only one 
   C 
To mend me when I come undone 
Em                          C 
  We both know you'll never change 
                     Bm 
Giving up on this charade 
    C 
You know I don't need to be saved 


[Refrão]

G          D Dsus4 
  Hey, old friend 
                Am Am7 
Sleeping in the road again 
                C C7 
Waiting for the world to end 
G          D Dsus4 
  Here you are 
               Am Am7 
Never near and always far 
             C C7 
Just another false alarm 
G         D Dsus4 
  Tell me why 
                        Am Am7 
You still don't see the signs 
                   C C7 
Is it better to be blind?
