[VERSE 1]
        Gsus            G       Gsus           G
There’s differences of opinion, differences of taste 
C             G               D        
When we talk about the world, we’re seeing different things 
    C                G        Am               Em
You tell me it’s all ending I think we’ve just begun 
          C   G/B  B7      Em      C                 D
We have a history  You and me, and maybe thats good enough 

[CHORUS 1]
G    D/F#   Em
Time stands still 
  G/D      C       D     G
Whenever I see you once again 
  G    D/F#   Em
I al - ways will 
     G/D      C        D      Gsus    G
Hold onto the memories my old friend 

[VERSE 2]
Gsus           G       Gsus            G
Picking up the pieces, remembering the past 
  C               G                  D
Unpacking all the present, ’cause it always goes so fast 
   C         G/B       B7         Em     C                  D
We might get lost, our paths will cross, maybe that’s good enough 

[CHORUS 2]
G    D/F#   Em
Time stands still 
  G/D      C       D     G
Whenever I see you once again

Hold onto the memories my old friend
