_ _ [C] _ [G] You know, Reckless Kelly's album Long Night Moon runs the gamut of lyrical subjects, from
love [G] and lost and lost loves.
But the tune Be My [D] Friend has an interesting story behind it.
[G] This one's called Be My Friend in Real Life, and it's basically [C] a song I wrote about kind
of when you're out hanging out [G] with your buddies and they're all kind of [D] checking their texts
and emails and stuff like that. _
People checking you in on Facebook and, you know, just kind of the _ culture [C] these days
is people are spending a lot of time on their computers [G] and their devices, which is fine.
You know, I do the same [D] thing.
It's more about having real life [G] experiences instead of being [Eb] friends on Facebook or, you
know, [C] friends on Instagram or any of that stuff, which, like I said, it's [E] all cool.
I'm part of the problem myself, but _ I think we can scale it back a little bit.
So that's what that song's about.
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] grow [E] weary, _ _ _ _ grow _ jaded.
_ _ _ [E] Lines are drawn, _ _ _ lines are [B] _

_ _ _ Face to _ _ face, _ heart [B] to _ [A]
heart.
_ _ Oh, so [E] _ _
close, _ _ yet so [B] _
far _ apart. _ _ _
_ You invite me [E] _ in, _ _ you [A] create a world.
_ _ _ [E] A [B] million pictures [A] worth a thousand [Dbm] _ words. _ _ _
_ _ Won't you be my [E] friend? _ _
_ [E] Won't you be my friend in real life?
