[Intro]
G C Am G
[Verse]
G Bm
Harbours lights shine down on me
Am D
Walking to and fro
Em D
Searching empty streets for
C Am
Someone I used to know
G Bm
And the lonely empty feeling
Am D
With the early morning cold
Em D
Makes me feel like turning back
C Am
Before I get too old
C Am
There's an aching in my soul
G C
It all seems such a waste
C Am
There's others I've been told
C D
But I only want to see your face.
[Chorus]
G
It'd be good to see you
Bm
Good to be near you
Am C D
Good to hold you in my arms again
G
Even when all my loving
Bm
Adds up to nothing
Am C G
I just wish that we could still be friends.
[Verse]
G Bm
And I walked through empty church yards
Am D
And along the prison walls
Em D
Saw the other trucks roll out
C Am
And I heard the rooster's call
G Bm
I look in darkened windows
Am D
Where I pictured you asleep
Em D
Pictured you there with me
C Am
But it was on another street
C Am
Ah, but pictures you can't keep
G C
They just keep rolling on
Am
Dreaming don't come cheap
C D
I know what else will be gone
[Chorus]
G
It'd be good to see you
Bm
Good to be near you
Am C D
Good to hold you in my arms again
G
Even when all my loving
Bm
Adds up to nothing
Am C G
Well, I just wish that we could still be friends
[Guitar and Piano Solo]
G Bm Am D Em D C Am G Bm Am D Em D C Am C Am G C C Am C D
[Bridge]
A C#m
And I watch another sunrise
Bm E
Bring in another day
F#m E
Lord knows I can't keep greeting
D Bm
Mornings this way
A C#m
Walk back through the crowded streets
Bm E
To my silent door
F#m E
Oh, but it just don't seem
D Bm
To look alright anymore
D Bm
Ah, what's the worry for?
A D
'Cause nothing is the same
Bm
As it was before
D E
When you were in the game...
[Chorus]
A
It'd be good to see you
C#m
Good to be near you
Bm E
Good to hold you in my arms again
A
Even when all my loving
C#m
Adds up to nothing
Bm E A
Well, I just wish that we could still be friends
A
Even when all my loving
C#m
Adds up to nothing
Bm E F#m
I just wish that we could still be friends
D E A
I just wish that we could still be friends
