C5               E5       F5                      C5 
Friends I could count on   I could count on one hand 
                F5         G5    F5    G5 
with a leftover finger or two 
C5                E5      F5                      C5 
  I took 'em for granted   let 'em all slip a - way 
F5                G5            C5    F5 
  Now where they are I wish I knew 
 

G5         C5  E5           F5     C5 
They roll by    just like water 
F5       G5              C5      F5    G5 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C5    E5               F5 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C5              F5 
standin' knee deep in a river 
G5               C5      E5    F5    G5 
   and dyin' of thirst 
 

C5                  E5     F5                  C5 
  Sometimes I re - member   sweethearts I've known 
                F5              G5    F5    G5 
Some I've for - gotten I sup - pose 
C5                  E5     F5                 C5 
  One or two still linger   oh and I wonder now 
F5       G5             C5    F5 
  why I ever let them go 
           

G5         C5  E5           F5     C5 
They roll by    just like water 
F5       G5              C5      F5    G5 
  and I guess we never learn 
           C5    E5               F5 
Go through life      parched and empty 
         C5              F5 
standin' knee deep in a river

   and dyin' of thirst 
 

C5                    E5      F5               C5 
  So the sidewalk is crowded   the city goes by 
           F5               G5    F5    G5 
and I rush through another day 
C5                     E5        F5                    C5 
  and a world full of strangers   turn their eyes to me 
F5            G5              C5    F5 
  but I just look the other way.
