D#D# G#G# D#D#
They`re famous, sensitive, talented
Bb majorBb D#D#
And their names are household words
D#m7D#m7 G#G# Bb majorBb
Yet they are no more precious in God`s eyes or in mine
D#D# D#7D#7
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
G minorGm C minorCm
Who is your friend?
D#D# D#7D#7 G#G#
He`s someone who warms you with a nod
G minorGm DmDm
Or with the unspoken word in hard times
Bb majorBb
When you`re hurting beyond words
G minorGm Bb majorBb
Who is your friend?
D#D#
She`s someone who holds you to her breast
D#7D#7 G#G#
And sighs softly into your hair
D#7D#7 D#D#
When no other medicine can stop the pain
C minorCm C#C#
A augmentedA friend is someone who clinks his glass against yours
Or answers the phone
D#D# C minorCm
At three in the morning when you`re lost
F minorFm D#7D#7
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Bb majorBb D#D# Bb majorBb D#D#
Makes you realize you aren`t really lost at all
Bb majorBb G#G# D#D#
Friends come in both sexes and in all shapes and sizes
C minorCm
The most important thing they have in common
F minorFm Bb majorBb
Is the ability to share with you your most sky splitting joys
D#D# G#G# D#D# G#G#
Or your deepest, most awesome sorrows
D#D# G#G# D#D#
For they are your friends
