Intro: E5 A5 E5 A5 

    E5                C#5 
Sometimes life isn't easy 
   A5              E5 
We need a helping Hand 
                      C#5           A5      B5 
There's times in life we all need a friend 
 

           E5           G#5 
Someone to lean on and turn to 
              A5         G#5      C#5 
A shoulder to cry on to see you through 
             A5         
But when you need someone 
         B5           A5   B5 
Not just anyone will do 
 

              E5 
And there are friends you have a lifetime 
E5 
Friends that come and go 
    E5 
And friends you have that are just friends of friends you hardly know 
        A5 
But the friend you find when times turn out bad 
                                    B5 
You know the one you never knew you had 
                E5 
Is your best friend  
 
Solo:

      A5 
If we lose who we love 
    C#5 
And things we can't replace 
               A5 
And all that's left are the memories 
     E5 
Even time can erase 
           A5             A5              A5     A5  
And if you can't see the forest from the tree's 
         A5                     B5 
Just ask one friend is all you need 
 
Chorus 
 
Cause there are friends you have a lifetime 

Friends that come and go 

And friends you have that are just friends of friends you hardly know 

But the friend you find when times turn out bad 

You know the one you never knew you had 

Is your best friend
