Best Old Friend
Tracy Nelson / Andy McMahon / The Glow 1979
As recorded by Bonnie Raitt on the album The Glow 1979
C- F C- F
C-7
Fate is mighty cruel
F
Where true love is concerned
C-7
It seems you give out more
/
Than you ever have returned
F
Lately I have tried
C-7
To make it on my own
F
Another nite has passed
|D G
Looks like I^Тm bound to be alone
|C-7
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^Тs nothin^Т else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^Тs back on you
|A- F |C |
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
G |C |
I only wish I knew why you won^Тt comfort me
F G
I thot that I could count on you
|A- C
To hear me cryin^Т out
|F D
I guess that^Тs one comfort
|2/4 G Bb |C- |F |C- |F |
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^Тt be the last
The thing about the situation
C- F
That makes me feel so sad
C- F
I could^Тve been the best old friend
|D G C- F |C- / |
That you have ever had
I could^Тve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
