[Intro]
G - B - E - A - D  x4
 
[Verse 1]
G               D/F#           Em
Packing up the dreams God planted,
Am                        D/F#   C/D
In the fertile soil of you,
G                 D/F#          Em9
Cant believe the hopes He's granted,
Am7                                  D/F#
Means a chapter in your life is through,
 
[Bridge]
                   Dm/F         E
But well keep you close as always,
         Am9              Cm
It wont even seem youve gone,
G                   D/F#       Em
cause our hearts in big and small ways,
     Am7                   D/F#          C/G  D/G  G  C/D  D
will keep the love that keeps us strong,
 
            G                   D/F#          C                 D
And friends are friends forever if the Lords the Lord of them,
       G                  D/F#            C                D
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end,
           Bsus            B          Em               C
Though its hard to let you go, in the Fathers hands we know,
       Am7               D7sus            G
That a lifetimes not too long, to live as friends,
 
[Verse 2]
And with the faith and love God's given,
Springing from the hope we know,
We will pray the joy you live in,
Is the strength that now you show,
 
[Bridge]
But we'll keep you close as always,
It won't even seem you've gone,
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways,
Will keep the love that keeps us strong,
 
[Chorus]
      G                   D/F#          C                  D
And friends are friends forever if the Lords the Lord of them,
         G                  D/F#             C              D
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end,
            Bsus           B            Em               C
Though its hard to let you go, in the Fathers hands we know,
           Am7                 C/D              G
That a lifetimes not too long, to live as friends,
 
[Chorus] (key change)
      Ab                  Eb/G            Db                 Eb
And friends are friends forever if the Lords the Lord of them,
         Ab                 Eb/G               Db             Eb
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end,
            Csus           C            Fm               Db
Though its hard to let you go, in the Fathers hands we know,
           Bbm7                Db/Eb
That a lifetimes not too long, to live as friends,
            Csus           C            Fm              Db
Though its hard to let you go, in the Fathers hands we know,
           Bbm7                Eb  Edim7  Fm
That a lifetimes not too long, to live as friends,
         Bbm7                Db/Eb           Ab
No, a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

I learned this song in High school Boarding school (G.C.A Georgia Cumberland Academy) back in 1997. It was one of the favorites sang in our girls dorm.
