Verse 1:
E                     A
Esther's been reading books
                  E/G#                       A
She's changed the way that she talks and the way that she looks
    E                                  A
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
      F#m                           B
She's shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose

Verse 2:
E                      A
Esther's been watching movies
        E/G#                        A
And she must have seen someone that she would like to be
     E                         A
With looks like hers she could be on the screen
    F#m                        B
But she's the worst actor that I've ever seen

Chorus:
E                         B
Esther I've known you for ages
         E           E/G#            A
And I've watched you through all the changes
E/C#                      E/C
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
    E/B                E/Bb
But now we're becoming strangers

Instrumental:
F#m B F#m B

Verse:
E                     A
Esther's been burning bridges
  E/G#                       A
I remember the time when she turned religious
    E                   A
But soon she turned her back on the church
    F#m                 B
And brushed it aside to continue the search

Bridge:
        G#m                         C#m
Because Esther's been searching for something
    G#m                        C#m
She doesn't quite know what it is
    G#m                       A
Yes Esther's been looking for something
      Am7                    B
Maybe something that doesn't exist

Spoken:
F#m       B                   E                                    A
   Esther, isn't it funny how we don't do the things we used to do?
                              F#m                    B                         E A
You don't think about that anymore Esther, but Esther, I still think about you

Verse:
E                     E/A
Esther's been getting lonely
E/G#                  E/F#
After she cut herself off from the only
E              A
People on whom she could depend
F#m                      B
People who were happy to call her their friend

Chorus:
E                         B
Esther I've known you for ages
         E           E/G#            A
And I've watched you through all the changes
E/C#                      E/C
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
    E/B                E/Bb
But now we're becoming strangers
   A
Oh Esther
   B
Oh Esther
