Calling Old Friends by Defiance Ohio
No one had done a regular version of this song so I decided to figure it out
myself because it's a relatively simple song. During the whole song the F G
and Am are actually F5 G5 and A5 so you play them as power chords.
Intro:
C G F
C G F
C G F
Calling old friends to make sure they're real, talking, talking just to feel
C G F
that sense of home you lost when you left last year.
C G F
Distance is just numbers on a dashboard, hours thinking about
C G F
nothing but the transmission stutter you fear.
F G Am
I remember what you whispered in my ear,
F G C G F
and all the things we tried so hard to never have to hear,
F G Am
like kids tighten up, start saving for the golden year.
F G C G F
Well, hey, that picture it fades day by day and the outcome's not so clear.
F Fm

C G F
Don't think I'll see you around this winter, and my tongue's stuck full of splinters;
C G F
I'm embarrassed to admit what I've been thinking.
C G F
Hope keeps some afloat, but for me it's no life boat.
C G F
The tighter I hold on the deeper down I'm sinking.
F G Am
Tried to put my finger on it but gave it my whole arm.
F G C G F
Reached out with good intention, but it only did more harm.
F G Am
Find ourselves alone since the day we're born,
F G C G F
so we seek someone to sew sutures in the places where we're torn.
