Song for a friend

Bm A6

We are magic, he said, but don't let it all go to your head

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

'cause I bet if you had it all figured out then you'd never get out of bed

Bm A6

Well, no doubt of all the things that I've read what he wrote me

GMaj7

Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be

Em7 F#m Em7

I keep on keeping it real 'cause it keeps getting easier, you'll see

==REFRAIN==

Em7 A Bm A G

He's the reason that I'm laughing even if there's no one else

Em A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

He said you've got to love yourself

==VERSE==

Bm A6

He said you shouldn't mumble when you speak, but keep your tongue up in your cheek

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

And if you stumble on to something better remember that it's humble that you seek

Bm A6

You got all the skill you need, individuality

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

You got something call it gumption, call it anything you want

==REFRAIN==

Em7 A Bm A G

Because when you play the fool now, you're only fooling everyone else

Em7 A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

You're learning to love yourself (yes you are)

==CHORUS==

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

Yes you, you, you

==BRIDGE==

Em A

There's no price to pay

Em A

When you give it what you take

Em A

That's why it's easy to thank...

==CHORUS==

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

you, you, you

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

you, you, you

==VERSE==

Bm A6

Let's say take a break from a day of gettin' back to the old garage

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

Because life's too short anyway, but at least it's better than average

Bm A6

As long as you got me and I got you, you know we got a lot to go around

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

I'll be your friend, your other brother, another love to come and comfort you

==REFRAIN==

Em7 A Bm A G

And I'll keep reminding, if it's the only thing I ever do

Em A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

I will always love you

==CHORUS==

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

you, you, you

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

ooooohhhhh you

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

It's true, our love is true

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

It's true, our love is true, our love is true, it's you I love

Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m

It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love

==OUTRO (x3)==

Bm A6

Climb up over the top, survey the state of the soul

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying

Bm A6

Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control

GMaj7 Em7 F#m

Inevitably wind up finding for yourself all the strengths that you have inside still rising

==One Strum each==
