Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Everybody's found someone they can call their own

Seems I am the only one who is all alone

But my friends, they are there for me

I thought that my love was the greatest thing of all

Now I realise that my love was false

But my friends, they are there for me

(CHORUS)

You can dwell on the bad points, and let death come and take you

Or you can live it for the good times, and let life come and shake you

You can dwell on the bad points, and let death come and take you

Or you can live it for the good times, and let life come and shake you

Staring out my window, I don't know where you are,

My past comes back to haunt me as though it were a scar

But my friends, they mean so much to me

Maybe I did love you, but that was long ago

Seems that once again I was the last to know

But my friends, they mean so much to me

(CH)

Blinded by my love for you I ignored them all,

But they will always pick me up, every time I fall

They're my friends, and they love me

I have someone to lean on when I feel alone

And they know if they're down they can just pick up the phone

They're my friends, and they are loved by me

(CH) X 2
