D       G       A        D
You and I can share the silence
        D/F#       G
Finding comfort together
    D/A              A
The way old friends do
    D      G          A        D
And after fights and words of violence
        D/F#         G
We make up with each other
    D/A       A     D
The way old friends do

Chorus:
D/F#      G                D
Times of joy and times of sorrow
D/F#    G      D/A       A
We will always see it through
D    D/F#   G         A       D
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
D       D/F#      G
We can face it together
    D/A       A      D
The way old friends do

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do

Chorus:
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do

We can face it together
The way old friends do
