[Verse]
A E
Hello there, my old friend
F#m D
Not so long ago, it was till the end
A E
We played outside, in the pourin' rain
F#m D
On our way up the road, we started over again
[Chorus]
F#m D E
Livin' the dream, of you on top
F#m D E
My mind is achin', and lord it won't stop
F#m D7 E A
That's how it's happened, livin' life by the drop
[Verse]
A E
Up and down that road, in our worn out shoes
F#m D
Talkin' 'bout good things, and singin' the blues
A E
You went your way, and I stayed behind
F#m D7
We both knew, it was just a matter of time
[Chorus]
F#m D E
Livin' the dream, of you on top
F#m D E
My mind is achin', and lord it won't stop
F#m D7 E A
That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
[Verse]
A E
No waste of time, we're allowed today
F#m D7
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
A E
Time's been between us, a means to an end
F#m D7
God, it's good to be here, walkin' together my friend
[Bridge]
F#m D-0-2-2h4-2--2h4p2-0
Livin' the dream!
F#m D-0-2-2h4-2--2h4p2-0
My mind stopped achin'!
F#m D7 E A
That's how it happened, livin' life by the drop
F#m D7 E A
That's how it happened, livin' life by the drop
F#m D7 E A
That's how it happened, livin' life by the drop
