  			Em         D         C 
Old friend come back home 
D            G               C 
Even though you always were alone 
Em               D           C 
You had to push against the faiths 
D                 G                  C 
Just to make it, make it through the gate 
  G     
But now we're getting older 
D  
And we're growing up 
  G 
So now less action in the water 
   C 
And we know enough 
Em                                  D 
Stood upon the roof top on a night so clear 
       G                             G 
That the lights from the city just disappeared 
    D 
I know you 

Don't believe me 
G                 C 
When I believe in you 
   D                          G                C 
I know it could get much easier if you wanted to 

Em         D           C 
D          G           C 

Em          D       C 
Old friend come to me 
D           G              C 
Everything I was, I used to be 
Em      D               C 
I went north, and I went East 
D                        G                C 
Follow in the footsteps of Some beautiful beast 

Em   
But now we're getting older 
         D 
And we're growing up 
                    G 
So now less action in the water 
      C 
And we know enough  
Em                             D 
Stood upon the roof top on a night so clear 
         G                          C 
That the lights from the city just disappeared 
   D 
I know you 
                  G                 C 
Don't believe me When I believe in you 
    D                      G                  C  
I know it could get much easier if you wanted to 
   D 
I know you 
                  G                 C 
Don't believe me When I believe in you 
    D                     G                    C 
I know it could get much easier if you wanted to 

Bm                  C 
Oh, how we used to run up in the park 
    G                      Am 
Cool air, and eucalyṗtus leaves 
Bm                C        
Oh, how we'd look out, out over the bay 
        G                  D 
Must've fallow through the gate 
D 
Couldn't wait to get away 

Em D C D G C 

   D 
I know you 
    G                               C 
Don't believe me When I believe in you 

    D                       D                  C 
I know it could get much easier if you wanted to 
    D 
I know you 

Don't believe me 
G 
When I believe in you 
       D                  Em 
But I know it's getting easier, 
          Bm          C 
Like it's supposed to do
