                        D
Still got pictures of friends on the wall
                           A
Suppose we aren't really friends anymore
                  Bm                                      A
Maybe I shouldn't ever have called that thing friendly at all
                         D
Get freaked out from a knock at the door
                       A
When I haven't been expecting one
                        Bm                           A
Didn't that used to be part of the fun, once upon a time?
                      Gm
We'll be there at the back of the bar
            D
In a booth like we usually were
                     E                           A
Every time there was a rocket launch or some big event

What a death I died writing that song
Start to finish, with you looking on
It stays between us, Steinway, and his sons
'Cause it's the ultracheese
Perhaps it's time that you went for a walk
Dressed like a fictional character
From a place they called America in the golden age
Trust the politics to come along
When you were just tryna orbit the sun
When you were just about to be kind to someone
Because you had the chance

                             D                D/C
I've still got pictures of friends on the wall
                   G            Em    G#dim7
I might look as if I'm deep in thought
                     F#m         Bm            G#dim7 Gm  A
But the truth is I'm probably not  if I ever was

                      D               Dm
Oh the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne
                        A                      G# G F#7
I've done some things that I shouldn't have done
                       B
But I haven't stopped loving you once
