D5 A5 D5 A5 B5 D5

A5                          E5            
Well, I guess that this is now the end 
 D5                         F#5
Who'd have thought my old friend
C#5                          D5
We signed the papers and we capped the pen


A5                           E5  
But I remember you from way back when
 D5                        F#5
'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
C#5                       D5
welcome David-what's-his-name-again'


F#5               E5
Things change the old cliche
   C#5                       F#5
If we knew now what we knew yesterday
D5 A5             D5         A5  B5 D5
Oh, we couldn't give it away


A5                  E5  
I was working at a record store
D5               F#5
I knew you, you knew the score
C#5                              D5
Some kind of deal is what we're looking for


A5              E5 
Time came, and disappeared
D5                  F#5
No one steered and it got weirder
C#5                     D5
Help was needed, no one volunteered.


F#5                       E5
Things change, you got to wait a bit
        C#5                     F#5
What made me think that I could weather it?
D5             A5             D5       A5          B5 D5
You're down before you even notice you've been hit


       G5                                         
And through it all I wondered where the 
 D5             A5       E5
Bus was taking you who knew?
      G5                            D5
And even though my one and one was always
       A5      E5                       B5
Making two I never thought that I was breaking you 


D5   E5
Uh oh


A5 E5 D5  F#5 C#5 D5  

D5 E5 F#5 G#5 A5

A5                            E5 
We were victims of the old taboo
      D5           F#5
But people change we changed too
C#5                            D5
Just make it count before they get to you.


F#5                 E5
Things change baby, hold the phone!
          C#5                       F#5
They'll shoot you down like you was Al Capone
D5  A5           D5       A5  B5 D5
Oh, you better go it alone


A5                          E5            
Well, I guess that this is now the end 
 D5                 F#5
The paper's signed forget the pen
C#5                  D5
Wonder if we'll ever meet again?
