[D] [A]
[D] It wasn't there [E] my old friend [F#] Not so long ago [D] it was still there
[E] We played outside in the pouring rain [F#] On our way up the [D] road we started over again
[F#m] We're living our [D] dreams oh you [E] won't drop [F#m] My mind is [D] aching Lord it won't [E] stop
[F#m] That's how it's [E] happened living life by [A] the drop
[D] Up and down that road and [E] I won't not choose [F#m] Talking about good things [D] and singing the blues
You went your way [E] and I stayed [F#m] behind We both knew it was [D] just a matter of time
[F#] We're living our [D] dreams oh you won't drop [F#] My [F#m] mind is [D] aching [G] Lord it won't stop
[F#] [D] That's how it's happened [E] living life by the [A] drop
No waste of time [E] we're alive today [F#]
Churning out the past there's no [E] easier way
[A]
Times been between us so it [E] means to an end
[F#m] God it's good to be [F#] here walking together my friend
[F#m]
Living our dreams [E] my [F#m]
mind's still aching [E] That's [F#m]
how it's happened living life [Em] by the [A] drop
[F#m] That's [D] how it's happened [E] living life by [A] the drop
[F#m] That's [D] how it's happened [E] living life [A] by the drop
