Asking For A Friend

	  		
Intro: E A C#m B (x4) 

verse 1 
    E          A            C#m        B 
Hey I was just wondering if anyone was sitting here 
       E             A       C#m        B 
And if not, would it be okay if someone bought you a beer 
      E        A       C#m       B 
Let's say that someone wanted to dance 
         E        A           C#m       B 
Would he have any snowballin' hell of a chance 
           E          A     C#m         B 
To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends 
F#m   A 
Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend 

verse 2 
         E            A        C#m           B 
He ain't ever been any good at laying it all out on the line 
  E          A             C#m      B 
I swear down deep, believe me girl, he's a really good guy 
           E               A             C#m          B 
If you can find it in your heart just to cut him some slack 
        E                  A       C#m         B 
He'd be johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat 
           E           A            C#m            B 
Yeah, he's holding his breath, come on give him a second with you 
   F#m A 
Oh yeah 

     C#m 
Yeah what do you say 
     A                       B 
It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful 
     C#m                       A 
What man wouldn't make you the love of his life 
     B 
He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool 
C#m                  B 
Just one drink would sure mean a lot to him 
A 
Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend 


verse 3 
      E        A              C#m             B 
Let's say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad 
            E        A       C#m          B 
And he'd do anything in this world, girl, to get you back 
    E         A        C#m      B 
Hey what kind of sorry would it take 
      E      A         C#m   B 
For a man to erase his worst mistake 
          E    A    C#m   B 
And would this even begin to make a dent 
   F#m  A 
Oh yeah 

     C#m 
Yeah what do you say 
     A                       B 
It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful 
     C#m                       A 
What man wouldn't make you the love of his life 
     B 
He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool 
C#m             B 
I don't mean to ramble on like this 
A 
Hey I'm just asking for a friend 


verse 4 
     E         A        C#m       B 
Yeah what if I told you he hadn't slept in weeks 
        E             A       C#m          B 
He was standing right here in front of you instead of me 
F#m 
Is there any way you could ever love him again 
A
