SONG FOR A FRIEND

“Well, you’re mag ic,” he said, but don’t (Bm)let it all go to your head, ’cause I (Gmaj7)bet if you all had it all fig ured out, then you’d (Em7)nev er get out of bed.

Well, no (Bm)doubt of all the things that I’ve read, what he (A6)wrote me, is now sound ing like the man I was (Gmaj7)hop ing to be.

I keep keep ing it real, ’cause it keeps get ting (Bm)eas i er, he’ll see.

He’s the rea son that I’m laugh ing,

e ven if there’s no (A)one else.

He said that you’ve got to love

your self.

He said you should n’t mum ble when you speak, but keep your tongue up in your cheek.

And if you (G)stum ble on to some thing bet ter, re mem ber that it’s (Em7)hum ble that you seek.

And you’ve got all the skill you need; in di vid u al i ty.

You’ve got some thing; call it gump tion, call it (Em7)an y thing you want.

Be cause when (Em7)you

play the (A)fool now, you’re on ly (Bm)fool ing ev ’ry one else.

You’re learn ing to love

your self.

Yes, you are,

you’re (F#m)learn ing to…

You, (A)hoo,

you, hoo.

There’s no price to pay

(no price)

when you’re giv in’ what you (A)take.

That’s why it’s eas y to thank

you,

you, (A)hoo,

you,

you,

you,

you.

Let’s say take a break from our day and get (A)back to the old ga rage, be cause (G)life’s too short an y way, but at least it’s (Em7)bet ter than av er (F#m)age.

As long as (Bm)you got me and I got you, you know we got a (A)lot to go a round.

I’ll be your friend, your oth er broth er, an oth er (Em7)love to calm and com fort you.

And I’ll keep re mind ing if it’s the on (Bm)ly thing I (A)ev er do.

I will al ways (A)love

(Bm)you,

you,

you,

you.

(It’s true our love is true, our love is true.

It’s you I love.
