Verse 1:
 FF
Hello, my old friend.

            C7C7
It's good to see you smiling.

     C majorC
You've been around so long,

        FF
You must be strong.

    FF
And single life really

     C7C7
Has its fine points,

    C majorC
Like friends to help you out

         FF
When things go wrong.

 FF
Two lying fools,

            C7C7
And then four cryin' eyes,

          C7C7
Counting on one another

    FF
To survive.

 FF
Crazy love

            C7C7
Must surely have this pain,

      C7C7
If getting up

          FF
Means going down again.
