Misc Musicals – 13 The Musical - What It Means To Be A Friend (Guitar)

      A                             E/A 
A friend's not a cheap little phony creep

         G/A                        D/A
Or a jerk trying to make a deal

      A                E/A 
A friend is a person who, most of all,

G(add2)/A                    D/A
Cares about what you feel;

        A/C#           D(add2)
And nothing is harder

           A/C#       D(add2)      D(add2)/E
Than learning a friend isn't real

      A                            E/A  
A friend sends notes back and forth all day

                     Em7/A                  D(add2)/A
And doesn't care that you can't spell

      A                                     E/A   
A friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher,

         Em7/A                    D(add2)/A
But a friend would never tell

      A/C#               D(add2)
A friend's outside waiting

         A/C#           D(add2)
The minute you both hear the bell

E/G#        E/D       A/C#    
And if your heart is always breaking

A                E/G#       E/D        A/C#
Cause the world is just not fair

A                   C#m7
When you're at your worst

        F#m7                           D
Your friend's the first one there

  A/C#            Cdim          Bm7b5
Giving you something to lean on

                                           E7sus
And that's what it means to be a friend

     A                            E/A     
A friend won't smoke when she's in your room

     G/A                          D/A 
Or laugh at the poems you write  

      A                    E/A            
A friend won't go start kissing your brother

         G/A                           D/A
The minute that you're out of sight

     A/C#           D(add2)
A friend is the person

A(add2)/C#         D(add2)
You call sixteen times every night

                     E/G#   E/D       A/C#    A
And if your heart is always breaking

                E/G#   E/D          A/C#     A 
And you want to run and hide

                  C#m7
When your hope is gone

         F#m7                   D
Your friend is on your side

   A/C#              Cdim             Bm7b5
If someone moves in 'round the corner

    A/C#       Cdim             Bm7b5
And you want to show him you care

    A/C#     Cdim           Bm7b5         A
So you give him all your last month of vacation

    B7sus                         E9#5
And all of the time you can spare

    A/E                          B7/D#     B7
But then, on the first day of classes

   A                           F
He acts like you're not even there,

         D(add2)         A/D
Then he doesn't know?

  D(add2)        A/D
He doesn't know!

          A/C#     A              Bm7add11
He'll never know what it means

 E7sus
To be 

A          E/A  G/A  D/A  F/A  Dsus2/E  A(add2)
a friend
