Tom: G

G    Em    C    Am    C    G

[Verse 1]

Em
Striking out? Well count me in
          Am
I'm gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
         Em
Ain't no doubt, we’re gonna win
               Am
A walk through hell ain't bad compared to where we've been


[Bridge]
D/F#       C/E                    G
Oh you can depend on me, over and over... over and over
D/F#        C/E                      Am
Know that I intend to be the one who always makes you laugh until you cry
                                         C
And you can call on me until the day you die


[Chorus]
G                         Em
Years may come and go,    here's one thing I know
C            Am       C         G
All my life, you're a friend of mine


[Verse 2]
         Em
That argument, I can't forget
             Am
We fought so hard I don't think I've recovered yet
             Em
The girls we knew, who thought you were cool
        Am
I never introduced my favourite ones to you

[Bridge]
D/F#       C/E                    G
Oh you can depend on me, over and over... over and over
D/F#        C/E                      Am
Know that I intend to be the one who always makes you laugh until you cry
                                         C
And you can call on me until the day you die


[Chorus]
G                         Em
Years may come and go,    here's one thing I know
C            Am       C         G
All my life, you're a friend of mine


Solo over Em Am (verse progression)

[Bridge]
D/F#       C/E                    G
Oh you can depend on me, over and over... over and over
D/F#        C/E                      Am
Know that I intend to be the one who always makes you laugh until you cry
                                         C
And you can call on me until the day you die


[Chorus]
G                         Em
Years may come and go,    here's one thing I know
C            Am       C         G
All my life, you're a friend of mine
           Em
Oh you can depend on me
C             Am             C                  G
I'll be fine, cause you're a friend of mine
