[F] _ Shorty Rotten.
[G] _ _
[C] _ Friends are hard to [Am] find so be careful. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] Have you ever been stabbed in the back by someone you thought was [B] really [G] cool?
[Am] _ Did they steal your lover?
[E] Or was it [Am] money?
_ Or was it [Bm] like they [C] told her?
_ _ _ Strangers just disguised as your friends.
Never found because [B] now you [Am] know.
_ That friends will let you [F] down.
Friends won't be around.
You need them.
[Am] Those who are your friends.
_ _ Friends are hard to [F] find.
Friends you'll say when I'm mad.
I'm [Am] talking about your friends.
_ _ Smiles they hide [F#] behind.
You never know what's on their mind.
Could be true [D] _ [Am] deception.
_ _ _ Jealousy and envy.
[Cm] When they never want to see you [C] get ahead.
They just [B] hold [D] you [C] back.
_ _ [Dm] [Am] Friends will let you [F] down.
Friends won't be around.

Friends are hard to [F] find.
Friends you'll [Dm] say when I'm mad.
I'm [Bm] talking [Am] about your friends.
_ _ [F] Friends are hard to find so be [Dm] careful.
You can find an answer in [F] mine.
I prepare you for something that bad.
But one might [Dm] backstab to get the fingertips.
And one might [C] have the hand to feed you.
Lead the [Dm] people who need you.
But those will hold you back and [Am] mislead you.
So be a leader.
Don't get led on.
A [C] leader in the wrong direction.
A dead in the next step.
D's are deep to a life like a [F] see-saw.
Ups and downs and I bet there'll [C] be more.
Ups and upsicles and a [Dm] path that's right.
The time lead a hand to fight this.
[C] _
Straighten up.
Take the [Dm] thought and replace it.
But don't you act too [Am] basic.
Jealousy and [C] envy and you should act friendly.
You've been riding the [D] edge.
If you pretend to be [Am] friends.
We'll let you [Dm] down.
Friends won't be around.
You need them.
Those who [Am] are your friends.
_ _ Friends are hard to [Dm] find.
_ You're standing in the line.
I'm talking [Am] about your friends.

_ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ say they'll [Dm] be with you [F] through all kinds of thick and thin.
_ [Am] _ I'm sure that [Dm] you mean well.
On [Am] the days that [C] life gets rough.
_ [F] _ _
There's a white girl she's away _ _ [C] from bad new [Dm] _ heartbreak.
[Am] But when it happens.
You [Dm] _ know you sure as [Am] hell can't find your friends when you need [C] them.
