_ [D] There, Lord, there, [E] my old friend.
[F#] _ Not so long [D] ago, it was still the end. _
_ [A] We played outside in [E] the pouring rain.
_ [F#] On our way up the road, [D] we started over again.
[F#m] You live in our [D] dreams, oh, you [E] won't drop.
[F#m] My mind is [D] aching, Lord, [G] it won't [E] stop.
_ [F#m] [D] That's how it's [E] happened, living [Em] life by the [A] 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.
_ [A] _ You went [D] your [E] way and I stayed behind.
[F#m] _ We both knew it was [D] just a matter of time.
_ [F#] You live in our [D] dreams, oh, [G] you [E] won't drop.
_ [F#] [F#m] My mind is aching, [D] Lord, [Em] it won't [E] stop.
_ [F#] [D] That's how it [E] happens, living life by [A] the drop. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ No waste of [D] time, we're [E] alive today.
[C#m] _
[A] _ [F#] Turning up the fast, [Am] there's no easier way.
_ _ Time's been [D] between us, [E] so it means to an end.
[F#m] God, it's good to be here [F#] walking together, my friend.
_ [F#m] _ Living the [G] dream, [E] _ _
_ [F#m] my mind's still aching.
[D] _ [E] _ _
[F#m] _ That's how it [E] happened, living [Em] life by [A] the drop.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m]
That's [D] how it happened, [E] living life by [A] the drop. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [D] That's how it happened, [E] living life by [A] the drop. _ _ _
