CAPO 4
[verse]
Two Alonely eyed boys in a pickup truck
And they're Ddrivin' through the Erain and the hAeat
And their Eskin's so sweaty they both get stuck to the Dold black vinyl seats
And it's DAbbott and Costello and Paul and Silas
It's the Etwo of us together and we're putting on the mileage
[Chorus]
And we Aboth feel lost but I remembF#mer what Susan said
How love is bound in the tBmhings we've given up
More than in the Dthings that we have kEept
And ain't it funny what Apeople say and ain't it funny what F#mpeople write
And ain't it funny how it Bmhits you so hard in the Dmiddle of the night
And Eif your home is jGust another place where youD're a stranger
And far aF#mway is just someEwhere you've never bDeen
AI hope that you'll reBmmembeDr, I eEver was your fAriendD  E  
[verse]
TwAo full grown men in a huddle of kids
And theyD're trying to hEelp them to belAieve
What is Etoo good to be real
But is more rDeal than the air they breathe
And it's WDally and the Beaver, David and Jonathan
It's the lEove of Jesus puttin' on flesh and bone
[Chorus]
And we Aboth feel lost but I remembF#mer what Susan said
How love is bound in the tBmhings we've given up
More than in the Dthings that we have kEept
And ain't it funny what Apeople say and ain't it funny what F#mpeople write
And ain't it funny how it Bmhits you so hard in the Dmiddle of the night
And I remember what Susan sAaid
  F#m       Bm      D     E
And ain't it funny what Apeople say and ain't it funny what F#mpeople write
And ain't it funny how it Bmhits you so hard in the Dmiddle of the night
And Eif your home is jGust another place where youD're a stranger
And far aF#mway is just someEwhere you've never bDeen
AI hope that you'll reBmmembDer I eveEr was your fF#mriend
BmI hope you'll have the strength to just rememberE  
I'm still your fAriend.

CAPO 4

[verse]

Two lonely eyed boys in a pickup truck

D E A

And they're drivin' through the rain and the heat

E D

And their skin's so sweaty they both get stuck to the old black vinyl seats

And it's Abbott and Costello and Paul and Silas

It's the two of us together and we're putting on the mileage

[Chorus]

A F#m

And we both feel lost but I remember what Susan said

How love is bound in the things we've given up

D E

More than in the things that we have kept

A F#m

And ain't it funny what people say and ain't it funny what people write

Bm D

And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night

E G D

And if your home is just another place where you're a stranger

F#m E D

And far away is just somewhere you've never been

A Bm D E A D E

I hope that you'll remember, I ever was your friend

[verse]

Two full grown men in a huddle of kids

D E A

And they're trying to help them to believe

What is too good to be real

But is more real than the air they breathe

And it's Wally and the Beaver, David and Jonathan

It's the love of Jesus puttin' on flesh and bone

[Chorus]

A F#m

And we both feel lost but I remember what Susan said

How love is bound in the things we've given up

D E

More than in the things that we have kept

A F#m

And ain't it funny what people say and ain't it funny what people write

Bm D

And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night

And I remember what Susan said

F#m Bm D E

A F#m

And ain't it funny what people say and ain't it funny what people write

Bm D

And ain't it funny how it hits you so hard in the middle of the night

E G D

And if your home is just another place where you're a stranger

F#m E D

And far away is just somewhere you've never been

A Bm D E F#m

I hope that you'll remember I ever was your friend

Bm E

I hope you'll have the strength to just remember

I'm still your friend.

D E A
