To Absent Friends Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Lunchtime Friday, leave work early
[G]Rushing through the suburbs to
the station to catch the train
[A]Heading up to town to Dave's
to get my glad rags [D]on
[A]Because lately I've been running down,
little things catching up
Ex[G]cuses stretched thin and
it's hard not giving up
[A]Tonight we're going to get it right,
we're going to have us a good [F#m]one[D]
[G]And the

[Verse 2]
[Bm]roll call is missing [A]a name
Since you [Bm]left things
haven't been [G]the same
But I don't [D]blame you,
[A]there was nothing here to make [G]you stay
But I re[Bm]member the way that [A]you'd light
up a room when [Bm]you walk in,
The way that you'd [G]lead
a crowd when you [D]sing
[A]Jamie, this one is for[G] you.

Nicely warmed up,
[A]pleasantly half-loaded
Ready Ready for a night on fire,
we're going to get out the [F#m]big gu[A]ns
And I run down the numbers,
scan through the faces
[Bm]Run through the [A]plans,
[Bm]scout out the places
[A]I'm electrified, surrounded,
but [F#m]still missing something [A]or someone

[D]One day you stayed awa[G]y for good
[D]You found a home [G]down by the [D]shore
A place to hang [G]your hat and [D]more
You sent me post[G]cards to tell me [D]of
Slowing down and [G]finding [D]love
The thrill has [G]gone from the city life
