Asking For A Friend

	 
[Intro]
C  F  Am  G  x4
[Verse]
     C          F            Am         G            C  F  Am  G 
Hey, I was just wondering if anyone was sitting here 
       C             F       Am         G                C  F  Am  G 
And if not, would it be okay if someone bought you a beer 
      C        F       Am        G 
Let's say that someone wanted to dance 
         C        F           Am        G 
Would he have any snowballin' hell of a chance 
           C          F     Am          G              C  F  Am  G 
To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends 
Dm   F 
Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend
[Instrumental]
C  F  Am  G  x2
[Verse]
         C            F        Am            G                C  F  Am  G 
He ain't ever been any good at laying it all out on the line 
  C          F             Am       G                      C  F  Am  G 
I swear down deep, believe me girl, he's a really good guy 
           C               F             Am           G 
If you can find it in your heart just to cut him some slack 
        C                  F       Am          G 
He'd be johnny-on-the-spot here in two seconds flat 
           C           F            Am             G              C  F  Am  G 
Yeah, he's holding his breath, come on give him a second with you 
   Dm F 
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
      Am 
Yeah, what do you say 
     F                       G 
It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful 
     Am                        F 
What man wouldn't make you the love of his life 
     G 
He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool 
Am                   G 
Just one drink would sure mean a lot to him 
F 
Yeah, I'm just asking for a friend
[Instrumental]
C  F  Am  G  x2
[Verse]
      C        F              Am              G           C  F  Am  G 
Let's say this friend of mine went and messed up real bad 
            C        F       Am           G               C  F  Am  G 
And he'd do anything in this world, girl, to get you back 
    C         F        Am       G 
Hey what kind of sorry would it take 
      C      F         Am    G 
For a man to erase his worst mistake 
          C    F    Am    G             C  F  Am  G 
And would this even begin to make a dent 
   Dm  F 
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
     Am 
Yeah what do you say 
     F                       G 
It's Friday night and you're beautiful, so beautiful 
     Am                        F 
What man wouldn't make you the love of his life 
     G 
He'd be a fool, he'd be a fool 
Am              G                  F 
I don't mean to ramble on like this 
Dm 
Hey I'm just asking for a friend
[Instrumental]
C  F  Am  G  x2
[Verse]
     C         F        Am        G              C  F  Am  G 
Yeah what if I told you he hadn't slept in weeks 
        C             F       Am           G            C  F  Am  G 
He was standing right here in front of you instead of me 
Dm                                           F 
Is there any way you could ever love him again 
                 C      F  Am  G 
Just asking for a friend
[Outro]
C  F  Am  G  x3
