[Intro 1]
[D][Em][C][G][Em][D][Em][C][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm feelin' so goo[Em]d right now
There's a [C]handsome boy tells
[Em]me how I changed his pas[D]t
He buys me a [Em]brandy[C]
But could it be he's [G]really
just [C]af ter my as[D]s?
He likes the [Em]clothes I wear

[Verse 2]
[C]
He says he likes [Em]a man
who's dressed in sea[D]son
But no- one [Em]else ever stares,
[C]he's being so [G]kind
[Em]What's the reas[A]on?
How [E]many friends have I [F#m]really got?

[Verse 3]
[D]
You can count 'em on one [A]hand
How many [E]friends have I
[F#m]really [D]got?[A]
How many friends have I [F#m]really [D]got?
That love me, that want me,
that'll [G]take [D]me [Em]as I a[A]m?

[Verse 4]
[D]Suddenly it's the silver[Em] screen
And a [C]face so [Em]beautiful that
I have to cry [D]out
Everybody [Em]hears me
But I look [C]like a fool now
[G]With a cry and[D] I shy out
She knows [Em]all of my friends
But [C]it's nice to find a woman
who's [G]keen on living
[D]Now I think I've rea[Em]ched the end
I [C]wonder in the dead [Em]of night
- how do I [A]rate?
How many [E]friends have I [F#m]really got?

[Verse 5]
[D][A]
How [E]many friends have I
[F#m]really [D]got?[A]
How many [E]friends have I [F#m]really [D]got?
That love me, that want me,
that'll [G]take [D]me [C]as [Em]I am?[A]

[Verse 6]
[Am]It's all like a dr[C]eam you know
When you're [G]still up early in the [D]morning
[Em]And you all sit togeth[D]er to
watch the [C]1 come through
[Am]But things don't look so g[C]ood
When you could [F]use a bit of warning
[Dm]Then you know that no- one will ever speak
[Esus4]the truth[A] about you[E][A]
How many [E]friends have I [F#m]really got?

[Verse 7]
[D]
[A]
How many [E]friends have I
[F#m]really [D]got?[Bm][A]
How many [E]friends have I [F#m]really [D]got?
That love me, that want me,
that'll [G]take [D]me [Em]as I a[A]m?

[Verse 8]
[D]When I first signed a con[Em]tract
It was [C]more than a handshake [G]then
I [Em]know it still [D]is
But there's a [Em]plain fact
We talk [C]so much shit behind
each [G]other's back[Em]s
I get the [D]willies
People know [Em]nothing
about their [C]own soft gut
[G]So [Em]how come they can [D]sum us up
Without [Em]suf fering all the
[C]hype we've known
[G]How come they bum us [A]up
How many friends have I [F#m]really got?

[Verse 9]
[D]
You can count 'em on one [A]hand
How many [E]friends have I
[F#m]really [D]got?[A]
How many [E]friends have I [F#m]really [D]got?
That love me, that want me,
that'll [G]take [D]me [Em]as I a[A]m?
