[E]
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
Hey, I was just wondering [C#m] if anyone [B] was sitting here.
[C#m]
[G#m] And if not, would it be [C#m] okay [E] if someone got your beer?
[A] [C#m] [E]
[B] [E] Let's say that someone wanted to [B] dance, would [E] he have a snowballing hell of a chance
to get you out on the [A] floor [C#m] before this [B] slow song ends?
[A] [C#m] [E]
Oh, [A] hey, [E] just ask him for it.
[C#m] [E]
He ain't never been any good at laying it all out on the line.
[C#m]
[E] But I swear down deep, believe me, girl, [B] he's a really good guy.
[E]
If you can find it in your heart just for cutting some slack,
he'll be Johnny on the spot here in two seconds [B] flat.
[E] Yeah, he's holding his breath.
Come on, give [B] him a second, then.
[E]
[G#] [A] Oh, hey, yeah.
[E]
[C#m] Yeah, what do you say it's [A] Friday night and you're [B] beautiful, so beautiful.
What [C#m] man would thank you [A] for the love of his life?
[B] He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool.
[C#m] Just wondering [B] sure mean a lot to [A] him.
Yeah, I'm just asking [E] for a friend.
[C#m]
[G#m] [E]
Let's say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad.
And he'd do anything in this world, girl, to get you back.
Yeah, what [C#m] kind of story would it [E] take for a man to erase his worst mistake?
And would this even begin to make it better?
[F#m] Oh, hey, [A] yeah.
[E] [C#m] What do you say it's [A] Friday night and you're [B] beautiful, so beautiful.
What [C#m] man would thank [A] you for the love of his life?
[B] He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool.
[C#m] I don't mean [B] to ramble on [A] like this.
Hey, I'm just [E] asking for a friend.
Yeah, what if I told you we hadn't slept in weeks?
And he was standing right here in front of you instead of [G#] me.
[B] Is [F#m] there any way you [A] could ever love him [E] again?
[C#m]
[A] [E] I'm just asking for [C#m] a friend.
