[Intro] Bm/F#  G  D/A  A

[Verse 1]

Bm/F#                G                  D/A
 All I ever wanted was to write a song
                          A
And to hear the world around me start to sing along
Bm/F#               G                  D/A
 But now I wonder what a song can do
                       A
If you don't have a friend to sing along with you

[Pre Chorus]

G                  D/A                                   A4
You've known each other forever so don't go and throw it away

Just say

[Chorus]

G             D/A                   A
I'll be your friend when you need one

And we'll run this race till we've both won
G             D/A                   A
 I'll be right there by your side till the end

I'll always be your friend
Bm/F#  G                D/A
 So don't let the song end
       A
I'll always be your friend

[Verse 2]

Bm/F#                     G
 She heard all your stories
                        D/A
She knows all your rhymes
                              A
And a friend like that don't come around you all the time
Bm/F#                     G
 So don't keep your secrets
                      D/A
And don't tell no lies
                      A
Just be yourself and she will be there by your side

[Pre Chorus]

G                  D/A                                   A4
You've known each other forever so don't go and throw it away

Just say

[Chorus]

G             D/A                   A
I'll be your friend when you need one

And we'll run this race till we've both won
G               D/A                         A
 I'll be right there by your side till the end

I'll always be your friend

Bm/F#  G                D/A
 So don't let the song end
       A
I'll always be your friend

[Final]

G                     D/A
 Summer days and the sunshine
A
 This is where we belong
G                     D/A
 All I need is a friend like you to
A
Help me sing out (a song)
                     D
I'll always be your friend
