Intro:
G D Em C
G D C G* G* G* G*

G D
This is it my dear old friend
Em C D D
It seems our paths are at an end for now
G D
Though one time we floated free
Em C D D
We are pulled by separate gravities to ground

C D
But it's clear that in the way we part
G progression to Em
With our hearts together but our hands apart
C D G G**
It seems to hard to begin
C D
Best friends we'll always be
G progression to Em
Although your road don't follow me
C D G G*
I know our paths will cross again

G D
Time has turned her face from me
Em C D D
In spinning spirals, fancy-free I flew
G D
With nothing but the dawn to see
Em C D D
And now I've got my memories of you
C D
Well the road is winding and the road is hard
G progression to Em
And there's no telling just how far
C D G G**
Or how many letters I might send
C D
One day you'll walk with me
G progression to Em
Against all probibility
C D G G*
I know our paths will cross again

G D
Time is like this fast frieght train
Em C D D
You gotta ride, you can't remain behind
G D
And all your friends are on separate tracks
Em C D D
And some of them they won't look back to find
C D
The one place that we all have known
G progression to Em
The one place we can call a home
C D G G**
The place where each of us began
C D
Sure as that day rolls around
G progression to Em
When the road back home is finally found
C D G G*
I know our paths will cross again

Bridge:
G G D C G quick progression to Em
C G* G* G* G*

G D
Now my home is in a far-off land
Em C D D
Where love and time have made their stand against me
G D
And that's probably where I'm gonna stay
Em C D D
That's probably where they'll bury me someday
C D
But after all has come and gone
G progression to Em
And after every song's been sung
C D G G**
There comes a thought I won't defend
C D
Sure as stones are left unturned
G progression to Em
On the streets where homefires burn

C D G G*
I know our paths will cross again
C D C
Yes I know our paths will cross again
