F                      C7/E
Ben the two of us need look no more,
F                           C7/E
We both found what we were looking for
F                        A7sus
With a friend to call my own
A7/C#          Eb7
I'll never be alone
     D7                Gm7/C#
and you my friend will see
C7                     F
You've got a friend in me.

F                          C7/E
Ben, you're always running here and there
F                          C7/E
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
F                 A7sus
If you ever look behind
    A7/C#               Eb7
And don't like what you find
           D7                Gm7/C#
there's something you should know
       C7              F
You've got a place to go.

Now it's us, now it's we.

F                           C7/E
Ben, most people would turn you away
F                   C7/E
I don't listen to a word they say
F                     A7sus
They don't see you as I do
A7/C#                  Eb7
I wish they would try to
     D7               Gm7/C#
I'm sure they'd think again
        C7                 F
If they had a friend like Ben
Gm7/F  F
Like Ben Like Ben.
