Chords for Joe Nichols - An Old Friend Of Mine (With Intro)

_ Rarely does a song come along that [D] accurately describes pain, power, [A] addiction.
_ In a lot of ways, saying [D] goodbye to an addiction is like saying goodbye to an old friend.
[G] Someone who's been there for you in good [D] times and bad times. _
But I'm thankful I have something [A] worth living for and fighting for.
_ [D] And I'm thankful for this song. _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ Today I _ did something I [G] never [D] thought I'd do. _ _ _
The choice _ _ wasn't easy, _ [A] but I had to. _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ All the [D] years together on those cold lonely nights.
[G] I never thought I'd be strong enough [Gm] to leave it all behind.
[D] Yet today I said [A] goodbye to an old [D] friend of mine. _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] Oh, it [D] won't be easy, but it's never easy when you [G] let down [D] the one you love.
[G] _
[D] There's someone at home who needs me, so [A] I'm giving up. _
[D] _ [A] _ _ [G] She always [D] knew the truth, never left my side.
[G] Man, love like that only [Gm] comes once in a life.
[D] So today I [A] said goodbye to an [D] old friend of mine. _
[G] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [D] _
[G] My hands were shaking, _ my hands were shaking, my hands were shaking, and my [D] knees were weak. _
_ _ _ _ As I [G] poured my last [C] shot, [G] _
I drank [A] my last drink, _
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ and I heard [D] freedom ring.
When that bottle hit the floor, [G] and I just walked away, [Gm] not needing anymore.
Yet [D] today I [A] said goodbye to an old [Bm] friend of mine. _
[A] _ [G] _ _ Yet [D] today I said [A] _
goodbye to an old friend of [D] _ mine.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _
