A Friend You Can Count On

	  		




          G                  D7 
If you're hurting, well I am too 
                                          G 
And if you're wondering what you're gonna do 
                        C 
Move over, have another beer 
             G7      D                      G 
You won't be lonesome 'cause your friend is here 


                                   D7 
I've been thinking, but what's the use 
                                      G 
'Cause the songs we're singing hold a lot more truth 
                    C 
Joking, cussing and swapping lies 
      G7              D                   G 
If it helps your head, well it sure helps mine 


                               D7 
Sometimes the laughing hides a broken heart 
                                    G 
Sometimes the singing shuts out the dark 
                        C 
But if none of that can ease your mind 
  G7             D                     G 
A friend you can count on, works every time 


                               D7 
 You can go to the country and try to be free 
                           G 
 You can go to the city or sail out to sea 
                    C 
 But any place will let you down 
      G7             D                     G 
 If a friend you can count on, just ain't around
