My Funny Friend And Me
Sting
[Intro] / 2x [Verse 1] Gadd2 In the quiet time of evening When the stars assume their patterns And the day has made his journey And we wondered just what happened To the life we knew before the world changed When not a thing I held was true. But you were kind to me Gadd2 And you reminded me That the world is not my playground; There are other things that matter; And what is simple needs protecting. My illusions all would shatter But you stayed in my corner The only world I knew was upside down And now the world and me will know you carried me. [Chorus] Gadd2 You see the patterns in the big sky; Those constellations look like you and I. Bm7 C#mb5 Just like the patterns in the big sky We could be lost; we could refuse to try But to have made it through in the dark night Who would those lucky guys turn out to be But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me. [Verse 2] Gadd2 I’m not as clever as I thought I was. G/D Cadd2 Gadd2 I’m not the boy I used to be because You showed me something diff’rent. You showed me something pure. I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure. But you stayed and you called my name When others would have walked out on a lousy game. And look who made it through Ebadd2 But your funny friend and you. [Chorus] You see the patterns in the big sky. Those constellations look like you and I. That tiny planet and the bigger guy. Bb7sus Fadd2 I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry. Just like the patterns in the big sky We’ll be together ’til the end of time. Don’t know the answer or the reason why. We’ll stick together ’til the day we die. If I have to do this all a second time I won’t complain or make a fuss. Who would the angels send But that unlikely blend Fadd2/C Of these two funny friends? That’s us. [Outro] Gsus2/ Fsus2/ C7sus Fadd2
