[Intro]
A(add2)  E/A  G(add2)/A  D/A
A(add2)  E/A  G(add2)/A  D/E
[Verse 1]
      A                             E/A
A friend's not a cheap little phony creep
         G/A                        D/A
Or a jerk trying to make a deal
      A                E/A
A friend is a person who, most of all,
G(add2)/A                    D/A
Cares about what you feel;
        A/C#           D(add2)
And nothing is harder
           A/C#       D(add2)      D(add2)/E
Than learning a friend isn't real
      A                            E/A
A friend sends notes back and forth all day
                     Em7/A                  D(add2)/A
And doesn't care that you can't spell
      A                                     E/A
A friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher,
         Em7/A                    D(add2)/A
But a friend would never tell
      A/C#               D(add2)
A friend's outside waiting
         A/C#           D(add2)
The minute you both hear the bell
[Chorus]
E/G#        E/D       A/C#
And if your heart is always breaking
A                E/G#       E/D        A/C#
Cause the world is just not fair
A                   C#m7
When you're at your worst
        F#m7                           D
Your friend's the first one there
  A/C#            Cdim          Bm7b5
Giving you something to lean on
                                           E7sus
And that's what it means to be a friend
A(add2)  E/A  G(add2)/A  D/A
A(add2)  E/A  G(add2)/A  D/E
[Verse 2]
     A                            E/A
A friend won't smoke when she's in your room
     G/A                          D/A
Or laugh at the poems you write  
      A                    E/A
A friend won't go start kissing your brother
         G/A                           D/A
The minute that you're out of sight
     A/C#           D(add2)
A friend is the person
A(add2)/C#         D(add2)
You call sixteen times every night
[Chorus]
                     E/G#   E/D       A/C#    A
And if your heart is always breaking
                E/G#   E/D          A/C#     A
And you want to run and hide
                  C#m7
When your hope is gone
         F#m7                   D
Your friend is on your side
   A/C#              Cdim             Bm7b5
If someone moves in 'round the corner
    A/C#       Cdim             Bm7b5
And you want to show him you care
    A/C#     Cdim           Bm7b5         A
So you give him all your last month of vacation
    B7sus                         E9#5
And all of the time you can spare
    A/E                          B7/D#     B7
But then, on the first day of classes
   A                           F
He acts like you're not even there,
         D(add2)         A/D
Then he doesn't know?
  D(add2)        A/D
He doesn't know!
          A/C#     A              Bm7add11
He'll never know what it means
 E7sus
To be 
A          E/A  G/A  D/A  F/A  Dsus2/E  A(add2)
a friend
