A good friend of mine

CHORUS:

I need to know, (I need to know)
            D
I need to know, (I need to know)
         C
If you think you're gonna leave
          D
Then you better say so

I need to know, (I need to know)
           D
I need to know, (I need to know)
          C
'Cause I don't know how long
D
I can hold on

If you're makin' me wait,
            D
If you're leadin' me on
           RIFF 1, D, RIFF 2
I need to know, (I need to know)
           RIFF 1, D, RIFF 2

D
Who would've thought that
                         *RIFF 1, D, RIFF 2
You'd fall for his line
D
All of a sudden
                      *RIFF 1, D, RIFF 2
It's me on the outside


CHORUS:
E
I need to know, (I need to know)

         C

          D
Then you better say so
           E
I need to know, (I need to know)
           D
I need to know, (I need to know)
          C
'Cause I don't know how long
D
I can hold on
            C
If you're makin' me wait,
            D
If you're leadin' me on
           *RIFF 1, D, RIFF 2
