Lyrics

[Intro]
| F Bb/F | F Bb/F | F Bb/F | F Bb/F |

[Verse 1]
F                       C7/E
Ben, the two of us need look no more
F                          C7/E
We both found what we were looking for
F                        A7sus4
With a friend to call my own   
     A7        Eb7
I'll never be alone
    D7                 Db7
And you my friend will see
       C7             F
You've got a friend in me
       Bb/F            F Bb/F
You've got a friend in me

[Verse 2]
Fm
Ben,
                      C7/E
you're always running here and there
Here and there
Fm                        C7/E
You feel you're not wanted    anywhere
Anywhere
F
If you ever look behind
A7sus4    A7                 Eb7
      And don't like what you   find
        D7                   Db7
There's something you should know
       C7            F
You've got a place to go
       Bb/F           F Bb/F F
You've got a place to go

[Chorus]
  Gm         C7/E F
I used to say     "I" and "me"
Gm            C7/E F
Now it's "us",     now it's "we"
  Gm         C7/E F
I used to say     "I" and "me"
Gm            C7/E F
Now it's "us",     now it's "we"

[Verse 3]
F                           C7/E
Ben, most people would turn you away
You away
F                   C7/E
I don't listen to a word they say
Word they say
F                      C7/E
They don't see you as I    do
                     Eb7
I wish they would try   to
    D7                  Db7
I'm sure they''d think again
        C7                F  Bb/F
If they had a friend like Ben

[Outro]
  F     Bb/F
A friend
     F  Bb/F
Like Ben
     F  Bb/F
Like Ben
     F
Like Ben
