Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]He'[A]s m[D]y b[G]est[D] Friend
Oh, but I didn't always know it
You know, people [C]would try to tell [G]me[C][G]
But I just did[Em]n't listen
I [D]was just caught up in the world
and
Havin' a good [F#m]time with my f[Bm]riends
But you know,
My woman [E]was prayin' for me
[Em]You see, she

[Verse 2]
[A]knew I was in
[G]trouble[A]
Yeah, and one [G]day I was feelin'
real [A]bad
And I turned to the people I thought
were my [F#m]friends[Bm]
And you know I found out
[G]real soon
I didn't have [Asus4]any friends
[G]And I started feelin' [C]real sorry
for [A]my [D]self
[F#m]I was filled with self pity
[G]And, you know,
when you're filled with self pity
[Abdim]You're just as empty as you [Bm]can be [D]and
And that was [A]me
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
I was ragged
[A]Jagged[D]
Tattered and [G]torn
I was filled with self [C]pity[G]
[Em]Ashamed and [D]forlorn
The king of [F#m]losers
Was [Bm]my claim to fame
Yes [E]loser was my middle [A]name[Asus4][A]

[Verse 4]
Then [G]one day [A]I heard
[F#m]Someone speak of [Bm]a friend
[G]And His words were glory and[Asus4] kind[A][D]
And I thought to my[F#m]self
[G]I don't have a best fri[Abdim]end[D]
Not one [A]name would come [D]to my mind

[Verse 5]
Oh, then [G]my eyes started raining
And a fire built up in my soul
[Bm]The empty vessel I had become
Started filling to [A]over[D]flow
And the Spirit of [F#m]God spoke so[G] clearly
My child [D]you [Em]are b[D]orn again
You [A]are born again
And I'm your best Friend
