Verse:
  G                                       D7
Hello my old friend, it's good to see you smiling
                                        G
You've been around so long, you must be strong;
                               D7
And single life really has its fine points
                                            G
Like friends to help you out when things go wrong.

G         C   G                      C
Hold back the tears that you've been crying
             D7
Push off the fears when they come around;
G         C   G                 C
Hold back the tears and keep on trying
                     G             D7                G
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love.

Verse:
Two lying fools, and then four crying eyes
Counting on one another to survive;
Crazy love must surely have this pain
If getting it up means going down again.

Chorus:
Hold back the tears that you've been crying
Push off the fears when they come around;
Hold back the tears and keep on trying
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love.

Chorus:
Hold back the tears that you've been crying
Push off the fears when they come around;
Hold back the tears and keep on trying
Just around the next corner may be waiting your true love.
