[Intro]

| F | C7 | C | F |

[Verse 1]
F
Hello, my old friend.
                                  C7
It's good to see you smiling.
             C
You've been around so long,
                       F
you must be strong.
         F
And single life really
            C7
has its fine points,
           C 
Like friends to help you out
                            F
when things go wrong.

[Chorus]
                         F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears
                             Bb
That you've been cryin'.
                     C7
Push off the fears
                             C7
When they come around.
                         F    Fsus4 F
Hold back the tears,
                      Bb
And keep on trying.
                                    F
Just around the next corner
                C7       C             F    Fsus4 F
May be waiting your true love

[Verse 2]
F
Two lying fools,
                                 C7
And then four cryin' eyes,
                              C7
Counting on one another
         F
to survive.
F
Crazy love
                                   C7
must surely have this pain,
                C7
If getting up
                                 F
means going down again.
