G                       D7/F#
   Ben, the two of us need look no more,
     G                          D7/F#
    we both found what we were looking for.
     Gmaj7                   B7/C        B7        F7
    With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.
         E7                Am           D7              G C D7 G C D7
    And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me.


[Verse 2]

    G                          D7/F#
     Ben, you're always running here and there,
      G                          D7/F#
     you feel you're not wanted anywhere.
     Gmaj7             B7/C        B7                 F7
    If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,
              E7                   Am          D7              G C D7 G C D7
     there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.


[Bridge]

   Am               D7    Gmaj7  G6  Am           D7     G
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
   Am               D7    Gmaj7  G6  Am           D7     G              C  D7
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.


[Verse 3]

    G                           D7/F#
    Ben, most people would turn you away,
    G                    D7/F#
    I don't listen to a word they say.
      Gmaj7                 D7/F#                     F7
    They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
         E7                Am             D7                G  C D7
    I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
          G    C D7          Gadd9 G
    like Ben,          like Ben
