 Em           G
Friends of mine
      B               Em           G
They said they were friends of mine
 B              Em        G B
Said they were passing time
            Am
More like a waste of time

Close the door
I said close the door
I've told you twice before
What are you waiting for?

Chorus:
G        C               G
Georgie Davis is coming out
         C                   Am
No more heroes we twist and shout
           D
Oh no not me, I'm not too late
       Am                D
and I know that I'm not taking anymore
G      C                    G
Rocky Picture has lost his gun
           C                   Am
Leave him out now he's having fun
            D
Oh not not me, I'm not too late
        Am                 D
and I know, that I'm not breathing anymore.

     Em
Hey hey!

Silly lies
Don't have to advertise
When will you realize?
I'm sick of your alibis

Running cold
The water's running cold
It's time that you were told
I think you're growing old

Chorus

I see you smile
Pictures on the wall,
they're all friends of mine
See you standing 'round the back
(friends of mine)
Think yourself lucky

Friends of mine
They said they were friends of mine
They were just wasting time
Out on the dotted line

Oh, money's gone
I've known it all along
Why don't you say I'm wrong?
Why don't they drop the bomb?

Chorus

What you doing, friends of mine?
Holding back now, friends of mine
I've always heard you calling
