	VERSE 1:
	  F                                         C
	Hello my old friend, it's good to see you smiling
	                                        F
	You've been around so long, you must be strong
	                               C
	And single life really has its fine points
	                                            F
	Like friends to help you out when things go wrong


	CHORUS:


	          Bb  F                         Bb
	Hold back the tears that you've been crying
	             C
	Push off the fears when they come around
	F         Bb  F                    Bb
	Hold back the tears and keep on trying
	                     F              C                 F
	Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love


	VERSE 2:
	Two lying fools, and then four crying eyes
	Counting on one another to survive
	Crazy love must surely have this pain
	If getting it up means going down again
