D A  Bm G D A  Bm G 
D           A              Bm    G 
What will I do when you're gone?   
G           A           D       
Who's gonna tell me the truth?  
D           A          Bm        G       
Who's gonna finish the stories I start,  
               A    D    
The way you al-ways do?  
   
D    A        Bm            G      
When somebody knocks at the door,  
G       A         D    
Someone new walks in.  
D      A         Bm          G       
I will smile and shake their hands,  
G                  A   D         
but you can't make old friends.  
   
               G   D

But you can't make old friends.  
   
D A Bm G D A Bm G 
D          A                 Bm     G 
How will I sing when you are gone?    
G             A         D      
Cause it wont sound the same.  
D        A                Bm      G       
Who will join in on those harmony parts,  
       A         D      
When I call your name?  
   
D              G   D        
You can't make old friends

G             A        D         
But you can't make old friends.  
   
G                D               G                    A    
When Saint Peter opens the gate, and you come walking in.  
Bm        A          D           G     
I will be there just waiting for you.  
Bm              A        D        
Cause you can't make old friends  
   
D         A          Bm          G     
When I am out on the stage all a-lone  
      G        A        D     
And I hear the music be-gin.  
D      A        Bm           G    
We all know the show must go on.  
G             A        D         
But you can't make old friends.

You can't make old friends.

Can't make old friends

And you and me, will be young a-gain.

You can't make old friends.  
   
D           A          Bm       G      
You and me, will be to-gether a-gain.  
Em                  A                              
Cause we both know, we will still be old friends.  
D              A            
You can't make old friends  
Bm             D    A      Bm     
Not the way we have always been.
