Sting - My funny friend and me

In the quiet time of ^A5/Geveni^D/F#ng, ^C/E When the stars assume their ^G/Dpatt^Cerns ^Gadd2 And the day has made his ^D/F#journ^Emey,^{Dmaj7 Cmaj9} And we wondered just what ^C/Dhappened To the ^Cmaj7life we knew, before the ^Am7world ^Bm7changed, When not a ^Emthing I held was ^C#m7true. ^Cmaj7 But you were kind to me, ^C/D And you reminded me ^Gadd2 That the world is not my ^A5/Gplaygro^D/F#und; ^C/E There are other things that ^G/Dmatt^Cer; ^Gadd2 And what is simple needs^D/F# prot^Emect^Dmaj7ing. ^Cmaj9 My illusions all would ^C/Dshatter, But you ^Cmaj7stayed ^Bm7in my ^Am7corn^Bm7er, ^EmThe only world I knew was upside ^C#m7down, ^Cmaj7 And now the world and me ^Cmaj7/D

You see the patterns in the ^D/F#big ^Em7sky; ^{D Cmaj7} Those constellations look like you and I. ^{D Em7} Bm7 C#mb5 Just like the patterns in the big sky, We could be lost; we could ^A9refuse to try But to have ^Cmaj7made it through ^G/Bin the ^Am7dark ^Bm7night, ^Em Who would those lucky guys turn out to ^C#m7be ^Cmaj7 But that unusual blend ^Cmaj7/D of my funny friend and ^Gadd2me. ^{D/F# Cmaj7}

I'm not as clever as I ^A5/Gthought I ^D/F#was. ^C/E I'm not the boy I used to ^G/Dbe ^Cadd2because ^Gadd2

You show^F#m7ed me something ^C/Epure.^{D Cmaj7} I always seemed so certain, but I was ^C/Dreally never sure. But you ^Cmaj7stayed, and you ^Am7called my ^Bm7name ^EmWhen others would have walked out on a lousy ^C#m7game. ^Cmaj7 And look who made it through ^Cmaj7/D But your funny friend and ^Ebadd2you.

You see the patterns in the ^Bb/Dbig ^Ab/Csky. ^{Bb6 Abmaj7} Those constellations look like you and I.^{Bb Cm7} That tiny planet and the ^Cm/Bbbigger guy. ^Abmaj7 I don't know whether I should laugh or cr^Bb7susy. ^Fadd2 Just like the patterns in the ^C/Ebig ^Bb/Dsky, ^{C6 Bbmaj7} We'll be together 'til the end of ^Bb/Ctime. ^{C Dm7} Don't know the answer or the ^Dm/Creason why. ^Bm7b5 We'll stick together 'til the ^G9day we die. ^Bbmaj9If I have to do this ^Am7all a ^Gm7second ^Am7time, ^Dm7 I won't complain or make a ^Bm7fuss. ^Bmaj7 Who would the angels send, ^Bm7b5 But that unlikely blend ^Bb/C Of these two funny friends? ^Fadd2/C
