John Prine - Way Back Then Chords

[Verse]
G
Night is falling
                         C
We're doing the things we do
D
You are acting just like me
                     G
I'm acting just like you
 
Do you remember
                   C
When you were my friend?
  D
That's the way I'd like things
                     G
Just like way back then
 
  G
Baby's sleeping
                   C
Brother is on the run
 D
I am out undoing
                  G
All the good I've done
 
If you loved me
                     C
Tell you what I would do
  D
Wrap the world in silver foil
                 G
Bring it home to you

[Verse]
  G
Lately I see
                C
That I can't pretend
  D
I may never ever see
                   G
The likes of you again
 
I take a walk, I come back home
               C
Then I sit a spell
  D
Watch the ponies dance around
                    G
The empty wishing well
 
  G
Night has fallen
                        C
I've said the things I did
 D
The only baby sleeping
                 G
Is when I was a kid
 
Do you remember
                    C
When you were my friend?
  D
That's the way I'd like things
                    G
Just like way back then
