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 /A                    D/A
Cares about what you feel;
        A/C#           D 
And nothing is harder
           A/C#       D       D /E
Than learning a friend isn?t real
      A                            E/A  
A friend sends notes back and forth all day
                     Em7/A                  D /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 /A
But a friend would never tell
      A/C#               D 
A friend?s outside waiting
         A/C#           D 
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 , E/A, G /A, D/A, A , E/A, G /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 
A friend is the person
A /C#         D 
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          A/D
Then he doesn?t know?
  D         A/D
He doesn?t know!
          A/C#     A              Bm7 
He?ll never know what it means
 E7sus
To be 
A          E/A , G/A , D/A , F/A, Dsus2/E , A 
a friend
