Friends

Intro: G#m-F#-G#m-; (2x)

E
Friends is a word we use everyday
Ebm G#m
But most of the time we use it in the wrong way
E
Now you can look the word up again and again
Ebm G#m
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
E
Now if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Ebm G#m
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
E
Some are okay and they treat you real cool
Ebm G#m
And some mistake kindness for being a fool
E
We like to be with some because they're funny
Ebm G#m
Others come around when they need some money
E
Some you grew up with around the way
Ebm G#m
And you still grow close to this very day
E
Homeboys thru the summer, winter, spring and fall
Ebm G#m
And then there are some we wish we never knew at all
E
This list goes on again and again
Ebm G#m
But then these are the people that we call friends
Chorus
E Ebm G#m
Friends, how many of us have been?
E Ebm G#m
Friends, ones we can depend on
E Ebm G#m
Friends, how many of us have them?
E Ebm G#m
Friends, before we go any further
(Do Chord Pattern: E-Ebm-G#m-;)
Let's be friends, they come in all sizes and shapes
Try to count how many of 'em are we gonna make in a lifetime
We don't know for sure how many
Like a child takes to candy, massive or plenty
Or dwindlin' if you live a life o' swindlin'
And dealin' and wheelin' or talkin' heroin like Welland
La vie en rose, c'est la vie, take a pause
Will it include me, myself and I with the clause?
Applause, so selfish of myself to forget
Without friends, we be worthless, we won't even worth shhht
Pardon my lingo, my stilo's kinda harsh
We gots to mingle, tickle them funny bones, make 'em giggle
Sippin' tequila with the evil stepsisters, Myla and Pia
Makes it a whole lot sweeter margarita
I be swayin' when I take the BJ,
Flaming Bikini, Play Houdini, that's what I say
(Repeat Chorus)
Adlib: E-Ebm-G#m-; (2x)
B-G#m-B-G#m-B-G#m-;
(Do Chord Pattern: E-Ebm-G#m-;)
Friends have a lot of friends, have a lot of friends
That's what we all be sayin' in the end
When it's good, its great, but when it's bad to hate
I wouldn't be blamin' anyone because of my mistake
I ain't a fake, cause I be yo-yo the way I treat ro-yo
We're separate, just like vinegar and oil-o
Friends stick together in any type of weather
For every trash and cherries won't mix together
But beware of fake, ones who masquerade
Cause I can spot the lamers from a hundred of miles away
You can see in the eyes when they hide the lies
See their disguise and the smiles, you gotta realize
The alibis and the treachery that they brought
Into your life, this is a lesson to be taught
So next time you meet up with your friends
Just make sure you don't get screwed again
(Repeat Chorus 3x, fade)
