  			Intro: E A E A 
    E                C#m 
Sometimes life isn't easy 
   A              E 
We need a helping Hand 
                      C#m           A      B 
There's times in life we all need a friend 
 
           E           G# 
Someone to lean on and turn to 
              A         G#      C#m 
A shoulder to cry on to see you through 
             A         
But when you need someone 
         B           A   B 
Not just anyone will do 
 
              E 
And there are friends you have a lifetime 
E 
Friends that come and go 
    E 
And friends you have that are just friends of friends you hardly know 
        A 
But the friend you find when times turn out bad 
                                    B 
You know the one you never knew you had 
                E 
Is your best friend 
 
Solo: E A E A E A E B 
 
      A 
If we lose who we love 
    C#m 
And things we can't replace 
               A 
And all that's left are the memories 
     E 
Even time can erase 
           A             A7              A     A7  
And if you can't see the forest from the tree's 
         A                     B 
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 
 
Outro: 
        E     A 
best friend 
        E     A 
best friend 
             E     A 
your best friend 
             E      
your best friend
