  Gm7               C7            F   Fsus4 F
I hope the day will be a lighter highway,
     D#           A#             F  Fsus4 F
For friends are found on every road,
        Gm7           C7          F Fsus4 F
Can you ever think of any better way,
        D#               A#          C7 C7sus4 C7  A# 
For the lost and weary travellers to go?

Chorus:
D#              A#     D#        A#
Making friends for the world to see,
F                   D#      G#maj7    A#
Let the people know you got what you need,
F                     A#       D#       A#
With a friend at hand you will see the light,
        Gm7                     G#     D#         A#
If your friends are there, then everything's all right

It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
