A E Gbm E D D A

[Verse]
A
  Say what's wrong my longtime friend?
D                      A
Something's bothering you
A        E         Gbm    E
Tell me what the problem is
      D             A
I'll see what I can do
A
There are times we disagree
      D                A
We agree more than we don't
A        E          Gbm       E
We won't always see eye to eye
      D                  A
But we will more than we won't

[Chorus]
       E   Gbm
We got friendship
                       D     A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine
       E   Gbm
We got friendship
                       D     A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine

[Verse 2]
A
If you're on the street, I'll take your hand
           D                      A
If you're hungry, I'll give you food
        A          E      Gbm       E
If it's money you need, I got some saved
           D               A
If you're sick, I'll visit you
A
I've been where you are right now
     D                A
You saw me through it all
      A      E             Gbm    E
I'll lean on you, you can lean on me
     D                  A
I'm never gonna let you fall

[Chorus]
              E    Gbm
'Cause we got friendship
                       D     A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                 Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine
             E    Gbm
Yeah, we got friendship
                      D   A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine

[Bridge]
A
Talk to me, old pal of mine
         D               A
If you feel you can't go on
A         E               Gbm    E
Don't you sweat, it ain't over yet
     D                A
This bond we share is strong
A
Now, your welfare is my concern
     D                    A
You weigh less than you think
       A      E        Gbm           E
I'll carry you through the sinking sand
D                   A
See if I'll let you sink

[Chorus]
              E   Gbm
'Cause we got friendship
                      D   A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine
             E    Gbm
Yeah, we got friendship
                      D   A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine
             E     Gbm
Yeah, we got friendship
                      D    A
The kind that lasts a lifetime
                Bm   A        D                        A
Through all the hardship, you know, you're a friend of mine
