Sometimes in our lives we all have pain 
            Em   G          C                F 
We all have sorrow but if we are wise 
             C              G      C   
We know that there's always tomorrow 

C                           F                                            C 
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend 
              Em    G         C               F 
I'll help you carry on for it won't be long 
               C                           G    C 
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on 
C                   F 
Please swallow your pride 
          C                          Em   G            
If I have things you need to borrow 
C              F                          C 
For no one can fill those of your needs 
               G   C    
That you don't let show

I'll help you carry on for it won't be long

I'll share your load if you just call me
