Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Many people say true friends

Are hard to find

But I know I'm not that kind

They come and go

And sometimes leave us behind

Like a wind that passes by

Chorus

('Cause) When you need a friend

That you can depend

You can count on me

Because you're my best friend

When you're feeling down

And your heart is hurt

You can call on me

And I'll be there for you

Friend

Interlude

Good things may come

And then bad things may go

Like a birth a long time ago

You're like the ship

That's sailing across the sea

To the waves that's so unkind

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

Friend

Adlib: --;

When you need a friend

That you can depend

You can count on me

pause

Because you're my best friend

When you're feeling down

And your heart is hurt

You can call on me

And I'll be there for you
