[Verse 1]

I called up an old friend of mine

Just to ask her how she's doing

She must've changed her number

I guess it's for the best

[Chorus]

Ain't it funny how it used to be

Used to be so right

All it was was a slow kiss

F G

And a fast car on Friday night

And everything's that's a memory

Was lost on yesterday

And time is a river

F G C

It only runs one way

[Verse 2]

She was my first everything

Oh and even then I knew it

Guess I'll always thought

She'd come back around

[Chorus]

Ain't it funny how it used to be

Used to be so right

All it was was a slow kiss

F G

And a fast car on Friday night

And everything's that's a memory

Was lost on yesterday

And time is a river

F G C

It only runs one way

[Bridge]

Everybody knows things change

But they don't want it to

Nobody wants it to

F G

I don't want it to

[Chorus]

Ain't it funny how it used to be

Used to be so right

All it was was a slow kiss

F G

And a fast car on Friday night

And everything's that's a memory

Was lost on yesterday

And time is a river

F G C

It only runs one way

F G C

It only runs one way

F G C

It only runs one way
