Intro

C G C* G C* G C*
G C*
In the middle of his life
G C*
He left his wife
And ran off to be bad
Boy, it was sad   
G C*
But he bought a new car
G C*
Found a new bar
And went under another name
Created a whole new game   
And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend    
G C*
Meanwhile then
G C*
His wife's boyfriend
Moved in and took over the house
Everybody was quiet as a mouse   
And it changed their lives
Changed their plans
Slowly they grew apart
Boy, it woulda broke your heart   
And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend    

Solo

    
       
And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend  
And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend
