Verse 1: 
C        Bb 
Hey, old friend 
        Dm        C               Bb 
I guess we did it right all these years 
              Dm               C              Bb 
I've had your back; you've had mine thick and thin 
         Dm             C              Bb             C 
Thick as thieves in the night don't forget we ride or die 
 
 
 
                         F                           C 
Cause you can't make old friends you can't turn back time 
                   Dm                      Bb 
You can't make old memories or partners in crime 
                    F 
The Good Lord knows all of those remember when?s 
    C                                    Dm 
The good old days and never again?s been through it all 
          C           Bb                     F        F  F 
Like it's never gonna end you can't make old friends 
 
 
Verse 2: 
     Bb                     Dm           C               Bb 
Hey, old friend, Hell, it's been way too long how've you been? 
          Dm         C             Bb 
I've been meaning to come and drop in 
         Dm            C                 Bb                      C 
But real life tends to fly, but don't forget we're still ride or die

The Good Lord knows all of those remember when?s 
    C                                    Dm 
The good old days and never again?s been through it all 
 
        C             Bb                          F    C 
They're gone with the wind, but you can't make o--old  old  friends

you can't make o--old  friends
