             G
Who would've said
When I met you at a party
     C                                        G
Everyone was drunk on 40s just south of Stuyvesant
G
That I would get to know your sisters
            C                                     G
Bring them with us every time that we were in Austin

G
If only she knew
           C
What it's like to see the world with someone who
      G
Is excited by everything, fashion sense of a king
 C
Living in the fifteenth century

Chorus:
                 G           Bm
Oh, I've got a friend who's been there
through it all
Em                        D
Masturbates to Rob Pattinson, staring at the wall
G                        Bm
I've got a friend who's tangled up inside
 Em                         D
Tried to hold her hand the day her mother died
G                       G/B
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
Em                               A
Talked me out of jail, talked me off the panic rail
G               D/F#             Em
I got a friend, I got a friend
      A                   G C G C
And she's got a friend too

Any other day
We'd be hanging out together, no matter the weather
She'd make us listen to Dolly or else
When I'm far away
Like I seem to be a lot
I miss the days we'd spend smoking pot

If only she knew what it's like
to see the world through someone who
Isn't afraid of anything, laughs about everything
I'd like to see the one who thinks
they can change her mind

Chorus:
I've got a friend who's been there through it all
When I lose my shit, she's the first person I call
I've got a friend who handed me a shot
And taught me to dance when the love inside was not
I've got a friend who's smarter than anything
Wears all her mother's rings,
stands for the right things
I got a friend, I got a friend
I got a friend and she's got a friend, too
I got a friend, ooh, I've got a friend
And she's got a friend, too
I got a friend, she'll be there in the end
When we're old and we're dead, ooh
And she's got a friend, too

I've got a friend, her name is Claire
Her name is—, alright, let me do one more,
I'm starting to loosen up
Yeah, there you go, it's light, isn't it?
You got it
You know that's the vibe with that one
He's so good at piano
