[Verse 1]
D
Where have you been, my long-lost friend?
G
We haven't talked since way back when
D
And how is life with your new love
G
I hope she's something from above
A Bm
Something happened yesterday
D Dmaj7 G
I need to talk to you
A Bm
Now I'm finding out you moved away
D Dmaj7 G
I'm reaching out to you today
[Verse 2]
D
I saw you walking in the past
G
You said your love would always last
D
Then I saw you all alone
G
Said your heart had turned to stone
A Bm
Nothing matters anyway
D Dmaj7 G
I thought I heard her say to you
A Bm
Nothing matters anyway
D Dmaj7 G
Then she walked away from you
[Instrumental]

There was laughter in the air
D7 Fmaj7
The children all were there

Playing in the warming sun

Counting dreamers, one-by-one

[Verse 4]
D
I'm living in the olden days
G
I found my friends along the way
D
Some are here with me right now
G
Some have disappeared somehow
A Bm
Where did all the people go?
D Dmaj7 G
Why did they fade away from me?
A Bm
They meant so much to me and now I know
D Dmaj7 G
That they're here to stay in my heart
[Outro]
D G D G D
