 Tony was a friend of mine
                  Dm
 We were together all the time
  F
 He had my back
                 Dm
 Once he really saved my life
[Pre-Chorus]
  C   Gm             F    C
 Sometimes, I wanna call him
                    C  Gm       F  C
 Say, "Hey, let's stay up 'til morning"
[Chorus]
F
 And when I close my eyes, when I close my eyes
        Bb
 I see you, you
F
 When I close my eyes, when I close my eyes
             Bb
 You come through, you
  C    Gm   F  C
 Time just deepens

 Sweetens and mends

 Old friends

 We all melt back into the picture

 Raindrops back into the water

 Old friends

 And there are no ends to old friends, amen
