G                        C
If you grow tired of the friends you make
G                       C
In case you mean to say something else
G                                   C
Say they were the best of times you ever had
G                 C
The best of times with the thoughtless kind

G                       C
We dress conservatively at the best of times.
G                       C
Prefer the shadows to the bright lights in the eyes
G                                C                                G
Of the ones we love, the bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love.

C            G               Am               G   Gsus4
What we see, what we imagine the eyes tell us nothing
Am                                           G         Gsus4
The bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love will tell you nothing
Am           G            Am           G
The scars of imagination, the scars of imagination
Am                                           G         Gsus4
The bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love will tell you
G              Am                     D D Dsus4 D
Nothing except you're the thoughtless kind

G                            C
So if you grow tired of the friends you make
G                    C
Never ever turn your back on them
G                         C
Say they were the best of time you ever had
G                          C           G
The best of times with the thoughtless kind

G                          C
G                          C
