Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You were an old  friend
 The kind  I could confide  in
 And drink  with  on random  neighbour's porch  steps
 Our glossy  eyes painted portraits  of the streets
 Repeat Intro
 You were an old  friend
 That covered  up your innocence
 With five tattoos  of all the bands  you loved in high  school
 The ones  you said that I had  to listen to  all the time
I  did what I did to get away  from this
 Cause everything  that's happened  has left me  a total wreck
 And everything  that I do now is meaningless
 So I'm off  to wander around  the world  for a little bit
 Without one hundred  channels with nothing on the TV
 And the great  pessimistic unknown
 So does anyone  know the best way  to go?
 Which road  that I could take to get to Mexico?
 Cause I'm  so sick of living in  this ditch
 With only  the memory in the back  of my head
 I'm on cruise  control and the radio  was on
 Yeah, they were  playing that song
 That we both learned on our Mexican  guitars
 I'm on cruise  control and the radio  was on
 They were playing  that song
 That we both learned on our Mexican guitars
 On our Mexican  guitars, on our Mexican  guitars
 On our Mexican  guitars, on our Mexican  guitars
 You were my old  friend

[D]  [A]  [D]  [A]  [G]

You were an [D]old  [A]    f[G]riend
The k[Bm]ind I could co[G]nfide in
And d[D]rink [A]   w[G]ith on ra[Bm]ndom neighbour's po[G]rch steps
Our gl[Bm]ossy eyes painted p[G]ortraits of the s[A]treets  [G]

Repeat Intro

You were an [D]old  [A]  fr[G]iend
That c[Bm]overed up your i[G]nnocence
With f[D]ive [A]    [G]tattoos of all the b[Bm]ands you loved in hi[G]gh school
The o[Bm]nes you said that I [G]had to listen [A]to    [G] all the time

[D]I did what I did to get a[G]way from t[D]his
Cause ev[Bm]erything that's hap[G]pened has left [D]me a total wreck
And everyth[D]ing that I do now is m[G]eaningle[D]ss
So I'm o[Bm]ff to wander aro[G]und the worl[D]d for a little bit
Without one [F#m]hundred channels with nothing on the [G]TV
And the gre[F#m]at pessimistic un[G]known [A]

So does a[G]nyone know the best w[D]ay to go?
Which r[A]oad that I could take to get to M[Bm]exico?
Cause I[G]'m so sick of living i[D]n this ditch
With onl[A]y the memory in the b[Bm]ack of my head

I'm on cr[G]uise control and the ra[Bm]dio was on
Yeah, they [G]were playing that song
That we both learned on our Me[Bm]xican guitars
I'm on cru[G]ise control and the ra[Bm]dio was on
They were p[G]laying that song
That we both learned on our Mexican g[Bm]uitars
On our Me[G]xican guitars, on our Me[Bm]xican guitars
On our Me[G]xican guitars, on our Me[Bm]xican guitars
You were my o[G]ld fr[F#m]iend
