[Verse 1]
D
 It's like when you're makin' conversation
           G
And you're tryin' not to scream
D
 And you're tryin' not to tell 'em
G
 You don't care what they mean
D
 And you're really feelin' fragile
G
 And you really can't get home
D
 And you really feel abandoned
G
 But you wanna be alone


[Chorus]
D           G
 Old friends, they shine like diamonds
D           G
 Old friends, you can always call
D           G
 Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em
D                                 G
 You know it's old friends, after all

[Verse 2]
D
 And when the house is empty
G
 And the lights begin to fade
D
 And there's nothing to protect you
G
 Except thе window shade
D
 And it's hard to put your finger
G
 On the thing that scarеs you most
D
 And you can't tell the difference
G
 Between an angel and a ghost


[Chorus]
D           G
 Old friends, they shine like diamonds
D           G
 Old friends, you can always call
D           G
 Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em
D                                 G
 You know it's old friends, after all

D           G
 Old friends, they shine like diamonds
D           G
 Old friends, you can always call
D           G
 Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em
D                                 G
 You know it's old friends, after all
