IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE MY FRIEND
ROLLING STONES
INTRO: STRUM D CHORD SLOWLY
VERSE:
G Em Em7 Em
If you really want to be my friend
C D
Let me live it up like I used to do
G Em Em7 Em
If you really want to understand me
C G D
There`s some giving up we got to do
VERSE:
I know everybody wants to be your man
I don`t want to tie you up, go ahead, you`re free
And I never want to scar you with my brand
We could live it up, just a you and me
VERSE:
If you really want to understand a man
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free
If you really, really want to be my friend
Give me the look of love, not jealousy
BREAK:
C D
I know you think that life is a thriller
C D
You play the vamp, I play the killer
Am C G D
Now baby, what`s the use of fighting?
Am C G Em Em7 Em C D
By the last reel we`ll be cryin`, cryin`, cryin`
VERSE:
If you really want to be my man
Get your nails out of my back
Stop using me
VERSE:
You know I really, really want to be your friend
But just a little faith is all we need
I don`t need no dog eat dog world for you and me
Get your nails out, stop bleeding me
BREAK:
You know, people tell me you are a vulture
Say you`re a sore in a cancer culture
Ay, but you got a little charm around you
I`ll be there when they finally hound you
Hound you, hound you
VERSE:
If you really want to be my friend
And I really want to understand you baby
If you really want to be my friend
If you really want to understand me
I really want to be your man
I want to try to give you a helping hand
VERSE:
I really want to be your friend
I want to push you when you`re up
And pull you when you`re down
If you really want you to understand me
I`ll tell you something, that love can thrive on jealousy
VERSE:
I really want to understand you
I really want to be your man
`Cause understanding is something everybody needs
I really want to be your friend
And I love you, love you, yes, I do
