[Verse 1]
Am             Fsus2
 Monday morning comes a crawling in
C                 Em                              Am
 From another weekend choked with cigarettes and sin,
                 Fsus2
And I've been busy so much lately
     C                              Em
That every time I get some time to spend
                           Am
I end up drunk or sleeping in.
              Fsus2
And I miss you, you're busy too,
    C                                   Em
We call each other up when we're messed up
                               Am
And say we'll meet in the New Year,
                    Fsus2                   C
But it's perfectly clear we'll do no such thing
           Em
Come the spring.

[Chorus]
G              C                  F             C              G
 But when the evening casts it's shadows on the corners of my days,
          C           F               C                  G
And I am old and I am settled in the place where I will stay,
         C          F               C                     G
When my wandering meanderings have finally reached their end,
          C       F           G             C
Whatever else may be, I will not forget my friends.

[Verse 2]
Am             Fsus2            C
 Friday evening barely even begins
                           Em                             Am
Before my phone begins to ring with people asking where I am.
                        Fsus2
And I can't suppress a smile, we talk a while,
     C                          Em                               Am
But chances are that I am far away and so I'm phased out of the plan.
                     Fsus2 
And that's how I miss out on another night,
     C                                 Em
The kind of night where nothing really happens,
                     Am
But everything goes down.
                          Fsus2                   C
And in the end I'm just a promise to pick up the phone
             Em
When I'm in town

[Chorus]
G              C                  F             C              G
 But when the evening casts it's shadows on the corners of my days,
          C           F               C                  G
And I am old and I am settled in the place where I will stay,
         C          F               C                     G
When my wandering meanderings have finally reached their end,
          C       F             G            [Riff]
Whatever else may be, may my friends remember me.
