I'll need time to get you off my mind
B F#
And I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
C#7 F#
Even ask to much of you from time to time
F# C# B F#
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
B F#
Till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
C#7 F#
Till I can make it on my own
G D C G
I'll get by but no matter how I try
C G
There'll be times you know I'll call, chances are my tears will fall
D7 G
And I'll have no pride at all from time to time
G D C G
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
C G
But till then I'll lean on you, that's all I mean to do
D7 G
Till I can make it on my own
D B7 Em Em7
Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
C D7 G
Without another lonely night behind me
D B7 Em Em7
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my crying's done
A7 Am7 D
No more hurting memories can find me
Key change G
G D C G
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
C G
Till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
D7 G
Till I can make it on my own
