   F5                             E5       
   I've still been searching and long have I waited
         D5       D5      Bb5
   For someone to like me as me
      G5         D5              F5     D5
   To laugh with, to cry with, to be just beside with
     Bb5      C5             F5
   A friend, that's who I need

   F5                          E5       
   To fight with me, walk with, to know that you need them
         D5         D5         Bb5
   Believing that they need you, too.
      G5         D5              F5     D5
   To walk hand in hand with, to argue, to talk with
     Bb5      C5             F5
   A friend, that's who I need.

                Refrain:
      Bb5     F5        Bb5    F5
   And even though I make mistakes
        Bb5               G5  C--
   And never do anything right
     Bb5      F5         Bb5        G5
   A smile, a hug can change our acts
        Bb5          F5        C5 - D7--
   And everything will be alright

   E5                        F#5
   Someone who shares all my dreams and ambitions
        E5            E5      C5
   Someone who will love me as me
   C5           E5       G5          E5
   I need this person, someone to rely on
   C5             D5        G5
   A friend, that's who I need

              Coda:
                    D5      G5
   A friend, that's who I need.
