D5 G5 D5 G5 
 
D5                             
It's like when your making conversation 
G5 
And your trying not to scream 
D5 
And your trying not to tell them 
G5 
But you don't care what they mean 
D5 
And your really feeling fragile 
G5 
And you really can't get home 
D5 
And you really feel abandoned 
G5 
But you wanna be alone 


D5             G5 
Old friends, they shine like diamonds 
D5            G5 
Old friends, you can always call 
D5            G5 
Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em 
D5                                G5 
Ya know, it's old friends after all  
 
And when the house is empty 
And the light begins to fade 
And there's nothin' to protect you 
Except the window shade 
It's hard to put your finger 
On the thing that scares ya most 
And ya can't tell the difference  
Between an angel and a ghost 
 
CHORUS
