   C                   Ami
   The other half ran away,
                  D7
   Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber,
   G                 H7
   Got a pain in the chest,
              Emi                        G7
   Doctors on strike what you need is a rest.

2. Now it's a beautiful day,
   The postman delivered a letter from your lover,
   Only a phone call away,
   You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number,
   As a matter of fact
   You're getting used to life without him in your way.

R: It's so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust... (2x)

R: Friends will be friends,
   When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
   Friends will be friends,
   When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
   Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends... right till the end
