Intro

Verse 1

Hey man come on over here let me play some of nothin' for your ears

Well I sat down and listened to him say love keeps gettin' in the way

How many times will I fall in love with a girl that was my friend you

see

Love is a hole in the middle of my hall like a well that has no end

and I said

Chorus

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

There's a soul out there that yours wants to find

Set your spirit free and I said

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

' (with

riff)

Verse 2

She said hey man, come on let's go, let me tell you something that you

don't know

Well I paced the floor and listened to her say love keeps gettin' in the

way

How many times will I fall in love with a boy that was my friend you

see,

Love is a pole that blocks the door with a key the boy can't lend and I

said

Chorus

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

There's a soul out there that yours wants to find

Set your spirit free and I said

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

Yeah

' (with

riff)

Bridge

(there's

solo over these

chords)

I tried to find some reason why I know our love is better but I've been

sinkin'

I've been sinkin'

Well I tried to find a corner in my mind leave it all behind, but I've

been

thinkin', I've been thinkin'

We can put it all together babe, we've got plenty of time

Verse 3

I remember sittin' 'neath the stars, talkin' 'bout love in a broken down

car

He said what are we gonna do we've lost our way and love keeps gettin'

in the way

Well I replied to the question on his face said love's not a time or a

convenient place

You've got rocks in you shoes you gotta fly, if it's love there is no

question why

He said

Chorus

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

There's a soul out there that yours wants to find

Set your spirit free and I said

Oh yeah, I know what you mean

'Cause a friend in love is a friend in need

Oh, yeah

Outro

And I've been sinkin'

And I've been sinkin'

I've been sinkin', baby
