Sting - Your Funny Friend And Me

In the quiet time of ^Eevening^D when the stars assume their ^Epatt^Derns^A, and the day has made his ^Ejourney^D, ^E7, ^Dmaj7 and we wondered just what ^E7happened, to the ^Dmaj7life we knew before the ^Bmworld ^C#mchanged, when not a ^Dmaj7thing ^C#mI ^F#mheld was ^D#mi7true. ^Dmaj7 But you were kind to me^D and you reminded me^A, that the world is not my ^Eplayground,^D there are other things that ^Emat^Dter^A. When it simply needs pro^Etecting^D, ^E7, ^Dmaj7 my illusions all would ^E7shatter. But you ^Dmaj7stayed in my ^Bmcor^C#mner, the ^Dmaj7only ^C#mworld I ^F#mknew was upside^D#mi7down. ^Dmaj7 And now the world and me^D, and now you carry me.^A

You see the patterns in the ^Ebig ^F#msky,^E, ^Dmaj7 those constellations look like you and I.^E, ^F#mi Just like the patterns in the ^Ebig sky^Fm6, we could be lost, we could re^B7fuse to try. But who ^Dmaj7made it through ^Ain the ^Bmdark ^C#mnight^F#m. Who would those lucky guys turn out to ^D#mi7, ^Dmaj7be? But that unusual blend^D of my funny friend and ^Ame.^E, ^Dmaj7, ^A

I'm not as clever as I ^Ethought I was,^D I'm not the boy I used to ^Ebe be^Dcause^A, you showed me something different, you showed me ^Esomething pure^D. ^E7, ^Dmaj7 I always seemed so certain but I was ^E7really never sure. But you ^Dmaj7stayed and you ^Bmcalled my ^C#mname,^Dmaj7 when others ^C#mwould have ^F#mwalked out on a lousy ^D#mi7game. ^Dmaj7 And you could've made it through^D, but your funny friend and ^Fme

You see the patterns in the ^Cbig ^Bsky,^C, ^Bbmaj7 those constellations look like you and I^C. ^Dm That tiny planet in a ^Cbigger guy^Bmaj7, I don't know whether I should laugh or ^Ccry.^G Just like the patterns in the ^Ambig ^Emsky,^D, ^Cmaj7 we'll be together 'til the end is nigh.^D, ^Emi Don't know the answer or the ^Dreason why^Em6, we'll stick together 'til the ^A7day we die^Cmaj7.

If I had to do this ^Bmall a ^Amsecond ^Bmtime,^Em I ^Dwon't com^Emplain or make a ^C#mfuss^Cmaj7. And when the angels sing^Em6, that that unlikely blend,^Dsus2 are those two funny friends,^G that's us^Dsus2, ^Emi, ^D, ^C, ^D, ^G.
