Ben, the two of us need look no more

5   -5    5    -4  5   -5   5<-7   <-7
We both found what we were looking for

-7  <-7   -7   <7  -7  <-7 -7
With a  friend to call my  own

<-7  -7<7 -7 <-7-7
I'll never be alone

<-7 -7  <7   -7   <-7   7
And you my friend will see

  -7    7 <-6   7   -7 -6
You've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running here and there

 5   -5    5    -5   5 -5   5<-7<-7
You feel you're not wanted anywhere

-7 <-7 -7<7  -7  <-7 -7
If you ever look behind

<-7  -7    <7   -7  -9   -7
And don't like what you find

 <-7     -7  <7   -7   <-7    7
There's something you should know

  -7    7 <-6  7   -7 -6
You've got a place to go

-6 7    8  8   6  -7    -7
I used to say "I" and "me"

-5   7     7    5   -6   -6
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

-6 7   8   8   6   -7  -7
I used to say "I" and "me"

-5   7    7     5   -6   -6
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away

5  -5    5 -4  5  -5  5   <-7 <-7
I don't listen to a word they say

 8    -9    8   -8 8  -9 8
They don't see you as  I do

-9 8    -8    8    -9  <-7
I wish they would try  to

 8  <-7   -7    <-7   8 <-7
I'm sure they'd think again

-6  -7   7  <-6   7     5   -6
If they had  a  friend like Ben

-7    -6
Like Ben

7 -7 -6
Like Ben
