Lyrics

[Intro]
| C | Em |

[Verse 1]
G D          Em   D   G
   I've been on my own
      C
Tryna carry this alone
G D/F# Em                    D
  Only so much weight my back could take,
        C               G
I'm sinkin' like a stone
    D/F#  Em    D    G
And now I see my face
     C                 G
In a broken window pane
D/F#      Em                 D                   C
I   could use someone to help me pick up the pieces that
      G
remain

[Pre-Chorus]
Am7     G             D     Bm7 Am
   When everything is blue, ooh
G             D7
All I need is you, ooh

[Chorus]
    C                   Em
I'm so close to the edge
                    G
And I need a friend, yeah,
               D
I need a friend
                  C                     Em
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
              Am        G            D
I need a hand,  yeah, I need a friend
                C                    Em
I'm tryin' to remember what it's like
      Am    G        D
To be young and alive
    C                   Em
I'm so close to the edge
                    G               D
And I need a friend, I need a friend

[Verse 2]
          Em  D       G
Oh, where are you now?
          C
I've been callin' to reach out
G           Em               D
 'Cause I'm only human and goin' through it
C                       G
My eyes rain like clouds
          Em     D    G
Would you take my call
        C
When my head's against the wall?
G              Em                   D
 And would you sit me down and hear me out?
          C
Would you call me beautiful?

[Chorus]
    C                   Em
I'm so close to the edge
                    G
And I need a friend, yeah,
               D
I need a friend
                  C                     Em
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
              Am  G            D
I need a hand,  I need a friend
                C                    Em
I'm tryin' to remember what it's like
      Am    G        D
To be young and alive
    C                   Em

  When everything is blue, ooh
G             D
All I need is you, ooh

[Outro]

And I need a friend, I need a friend
                  C
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
Em                 Am  G            D
  I need your hand,  I need a friend
