E
If you say up - I say down
We're the most unlikely pair
But up or down, high or low
You've always been right there

Chorus:
E               A                 E
You've been a friend to me, a godsend to me
      F#m                 B
And I ain't too proud to say
                         E
You've been a friend to me

Now if i'm feeling lowdown
Or feeling ten feet tall
Thick or thin, the shape i'm in
Don't matter to you at all

Chorus:
You've been a friend to me, a godsend to me
I ain't too proud to say
You've been a friend to me

A
Whenever I needed someone
You're right there on the line
         B
With a friend like you, to get me through
I'll get by every time

Whenever I needed someone
You're right there on the line
With a friend like you, to get me through
I'll get by every time

Chorus:
You've been a friend to me, a godsend to me
I ain't too proud to say
You've been a friend to me
