E                     A                    E
    Dear Friends, how long has it been
                      A                E
Since I've written or tried to call
                            A              C#
things have changed and its all 'ver no    ow
A                 B/F#       E
   that I've had any time at all


[Chorus]

C#m          G#m                C#m
   Time to regain old friends
                G#m        C#m
and recall lost memories
         F#m             G#7
Time to begin again ain ain
N.C.                              C#m
WHat all the years have kept from me


[Verse]

E                    A              E
   Dear friends, I've been so busy
               A                  E
going places I've never stayed
                    A               C#
meeting faces whose names live on   on
N.C.                C#m
in some forgotten parade


[Chorus]
             G#m              C#m
Now time is still their voice
               G#m           C#m
they no longer call my name
               F#m            G#7
this life that was my choi oi oice
 N.C.                     C#m
became the price of empty fame

[Verse]

E                     A                E
   Dear friends, it would comfort me
                       A                  E
to know you thought of me here once more
                    A           C#    A
I need someone to remember me   ee

now isn't that what friends are for
      B                     E     A
isn't that what friends are for
      B                     E    A     C#
isn't that what friends are foo  or
