What It Means to Be a Friend [w/ lyrics] Chords

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] A friend's not [E] a cheap little phony creep or a jerk [A] trying to make a deal
A friend [E] is a person who most of all [D] cares about what you feel
And nothing is harder than learning a friend isn't [E] real
_ A friend sends notes back and [A] forth all day and doesn't [D] care that you can't spell
[A] A friend knows you've got a crush on your teacher but a friend would never tell
A friend's [D] outside waiting the [A] minute you both hear the bell _
[Em] And if your heart is always _ [A] breaking cause the [E] world is [Em] just not [A] fair
When [C#m] you're _ asked who your [F#m] friend of first [D] won't be
_ _ [A] Giving you something to lean on
And that's what it [D] means to be [E] a [A] friend
[E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] A friend [E] won't smoke when she's in [A] your room or laugh at the poems you write
_ A friend won't go [E] and start kissing your [E] brother the minute that you're out of sight
[A] A friend is [D] the person [A] you call [D] sixteen times every night
And [E] if your heart is always [A] breaking _ [E] and you want to run [A] and _ _ [C#m] hide
When your hope is [F#m] gone you're _ on [D] your side
[A] If someone [F#] moves in [Dm] round the corner and [A] you [F#] want to show [B] him you care
_ [A] So you [Cm] give him all your [B] last month of [E] vacation
And [B] all of the time you [F] can spare _ _ [A] _ _
for [B] a stay of _ classes
[A] He acts like you're not [F] even listening
[B] _ _ [A] _ _
No, _ he [D] doesn't know
_ [A] He'll never know [Bm] what it means [E] to be _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
