  			(D)Well you and I  
We're(G)buddies  
(D)And we've been since we first (G)met  
 
(chord progression same as vs 1) 
 
Me any you  
Well we've sure been through  
Our share of laughter and regret  
 
(D)Lord knows we've had our bad (G)days  
(D)And more than once we've (G)disagreed  
But you've (D)always been a (G)friend to (D)me  
 
(chord progression is the same as vs 1) 
 
You can be so stubborn  
There's times I think you just like to fight  
And I hope and pray  
I live to see a day  
When you say I might be right  
 
(chord progression sams as chorus) 
 
And there's times I'd rather kill you  
Than listen to your honesty  
But you've always been a friend to me  
 
You've (D)always been  
Time and (G)again  
(D)The one to take my (G)hand  
(D)And show to (G)me (D)it's okay to (G)be  
(D)Just the way I (G)am  
(STOP)With no apology(D G)  
 
(chord progression sams as vs 1) 
 
Oh you've always been  
And you will 'till God knows when  
Yes you've always been a friend to me
