[Verse 1]
 
C                       G7/B
   Ben, the two of us need look no more,
     C                          G7/B
    we both found what we were looking for.
     Cmaj7                   E7/F        E7        A#7
    With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.
         A7                Dm           G7              C F G7 C F G7
    And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    C                          G7/B
     Ben, you're always running here and there,
      C                          G7/B
     you feel you're not wanted anywhere.
     Cmaj7             E7/F        E7                 A#7
    If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,
              A7                   Dm          G7              C F G7 C F G7
     there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.

   Dm               G7    Cmaj7  C6  Dm           G7     C
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
   Dm               G7    Cmaj7  C6  Dm           G7     C              F  G7
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    C                           G7/B
    Ben, most people would turn you away,
    C                    G7/B
    I don't listen to a word they say.
      Cmaj7                 G7/B                     A#7
    They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
         A7                Dm             G7                C  F G7
    I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
          C    F G7          Cadd9 C
    like Ben,          like Ben
