G
Night is falling

                         C
We're doing the things we do

D
You are acting just like me

                     G
I'm acting just like you
Do you remember
                   C
When you were my friend?

  D
That's the way I'd like things

                     G
Just like way back then

  G
Baby's sleeping

                   C
Brother is on the run

 D
I am out undoing

                  G
All the good I've done
If you loved me
                     C
Tell you what I would do

Wrap the world in silver foil

                 G
Bring it home to you

  G
Lately I see

                C
That I can't pretend

  D
I may never ever see

                   G
The likes of you again
I take a walk, I come back home
               C
Then I sit a spell

  D
Watch the ponies dance around

                    G
The empty wishing well

Night has fallen

                        C
I've said the things I did

 D
The only baby sleeping

                 G
Is when I was a kid
Do you remember
                    C
When you were my friend?

  D
That's the way I'd like things

                    G
Just like way back then
