how music changes through the years.
D
Let's hope you’ll never leave old friends,

like all good things on you we depend.

So stick around ‘cause we might miss you,

when we grow tired of all this visual.

Am                                  G                   F
take a look at all the suffering we breed.
C                                        F                Dm
So many lonely faces scattered all around,

waiting for life to go by. - - - Oh.

If there's a God in the sky looking down, what can he think of

what we've done to the world that he created.
