[Intro]
C Am D G7
[Verse]
C Am
Sail a paper ship across the old canal
D G7
Watch it tread the water with a headline on its bow
C Am
Started out so straight and clear but it did not make it far
D G7
Filled up quick, took a nasty dip and then it fell apart
[Chorus]
C Am
And it's so long old friend
D G7
Wish I coulda been the one to straighten out your bend
C Am
And it's no use man, it's old news
D G7
Bitter tears mark the years between us in the end
[Instrumental]
C Am D G7
[Verse]
C Am
Broke a paper clip on the letter that you wrote
D D
Caught a glimpse of your fingerprints
G G7
in the smudge at the top of the notes
C Am
Long ago on a county road, oh I knew this day would come
D G7
Now I'm chasin' down the memories, I take 'em as they come
[Chorus]
C Am
And it's so long, old friend
D G7
Thread a needle through your arm tryna stitch it back together again
C Am
And it's no use man, it's old news
D G7
Bitter tears mark the years between us in the end
[Verse]
C Am
Elevator trips, hilly county sun
D G7
Early mornin' instant coffee, livin' on the run
C Am
Old freight train fiddles, ohhh talkin' on the phone
D G7
Losin' touch for a couple of years and barely hangin' on
[Verse]
C Am
Man, we sure will miss you, oh but you ain't missin' much
D G7
People tell me new doors open each time the old ones shut
