(intro 4x) F F4

 F                       C7/E
Ben, the two of us need look no more,
 F                          C7/E
we both found what we were looking for.
  F                        C7/E  A7/C#         Cm/Eb
With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.
      D7                  Bbm/Db           C7       F  F4  F  F4
And you my friend will see, 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                  C7/E  A7/C#                   Cm/Eb
If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,
         D7                     Bbm/Db     C7              F  F4  F  F4
there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.

   Gm7        C7/E      F           Gm           C7/E     F
I used to say           I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
   Gm         C7/E      F           Gm           C7/E     F             Bb
I used to say           I and me.  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                     C7/E                       Cm/Eb
They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
     D7                 Bbm/Db       C7                 F  F4
I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
      F   F4             F    F4  F
like Ben,          like Ben
