      [Intro]
Am Bm C Bm Am7 Bm7 C Bm7

[Verse 1]
G                 D               C                   D
When the troubles of the day tell me my thoughts have gone astray
G                    A
One person still can listen
G                 D              C                 D
Talkin' 'bout the times of life, troubles, happys, good and strife
G                A
Just vaguely reminiscin'
C                   D
His eyes are always open
C                           D
Though he sometimes doesn't see
C                  D
The chain is never broken
G      C              D
And he is a friend to me
G      C              D
And he is a friend to me

[Instrumental]
Am Bm C Bm Am7 Bm7 C Bm7

[VERSE 2]
G             D               C                D
When I cannot find myself and wish that I were something else
G               A
I listen to him talkin'
  G            D                 C                     D
A story teller from the fold and though I've heard the ones he's told
G                       A
They come back when I'm walkin'
C                    D
In the jingle jangle jungle
C                    D
Of things I dare not know
C                  D
His door is always open
G     C                D
And I know where I can go
G     C                D
And I know where I can go

[CHORUS]
Am7             D7                             Gmaj7  G6
I think back to days when we were both so much younger
Am7          D7                        Gmaj7 G6
Sometimes we really never had a lot to say,  no
Gm7         C                           Fmaj7 F6
No one ever told us growing up would be easy
Gm7                 C                               A
Maybe that's why we help each other try to find the way

[Verse 3]
G             D               C                D
When I cannot find myself and wish that I were something else
G               A
I listen to him talkin'
G              D                 C                     D
A story teller from the fold and though I've heard the ones he's told
G                       A
They come back when I'm walkin'
C                    D
In the jingle jangle jungle
C                    D
Of things I dare not know
C                  D
His door is always open
G     C                D
And I know where I can go
G     C                D
And I know where I can go
