[C]
[Am]
[Em] Time goes by, [E] and every single [F]
tear it must have well run dry,
And [Dm] the lonely night may come a [Em] strange, [Eb] accepted [C]
way.
[D]
[C] And [Am] the years go past, just like the old song [C] says,
The [F] pain with time has healed, it couldn't last.
[Dm] But oh, a friend, I gave [Em] full, and shuns your name.
[Am]
[Em] [Am] Sunny [Dm] days, drunken [G]
nights, you smile [C] and say,
Oh, it's [F] alright, but oh, the [D] cold, [C] cold [E] rain,
At the mention of your [Am] name.

[D] [Am] Forgive me [Dm] please, if I shrug [G] my shoulders,
When [C] I put my friend at ease, as [F] I get older,
It's not that [B] I don't feel [E] colder
[Bm] than [Ab] [Am] before,
[B] [A] I've [Dm] become so good [G] at hiding, what I [C] feel, without [F] confiding,

At the mention of your name.
At the mention of your [Am] name.
