Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Old friends in a deep groove
 We still got something left to prove
 (Repeat same chords as above throughout verse)
 With no plans and no kids
 And so much water under the bridge
 Old friends in a new town
 We don’t need a reason to go get down
 All I want to do
 Is reminisce for an hour
 
 Blow a kiss and devour
 
 All the love in the world could be ours
 Sour grapes turn to fine wine
 They just need a few years on a winding vine
 With my eyes shut and my mouth closed
 I listen for the train and the whistle blows
 Like a school bell or a rotary phone
 I’ll go back to the well when I get back home
 All I want to do
 Is pretend for a night
 That the end’s out of sight
 For old friends I will leave on a light
 Old friends on a new guitar
 And there’s so much whisky at the bar
 All I want to do
 Is disappear down the hall
 In the mirror on the wall
 And that look on your face says it all
 All I want to do
 Is pretend for a day
 That the end’s still a light year away
 For old friends who will say:
 “We’re you there, when the spirit spilled?”
 Some kinds of love can’t be distilled

All I want to do
Is pretend for a day
That the end’s still a light year away
For old friends who will say:
“We’re you there, when the spirit spilled?”
Some kinds of love can’t be distilled
