IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE MY FRIEND
ROLLING STONES

INTRO: STRUM D CHORD SLOWLY

VERSE:
If you r[G]eally want to be my fr[Em]iend[Em7][Em]
Let me l[C]ive it up like I used to [D]do
If you re[G]ally want to underst[Em]and me[Em7][Em]
There's some gi[C]ving up we got to [G]do[D]

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] I know you think that life is a t[D]hriller
[C] You play the vamp, I play the k[D]iller
[Am] Now b[C]aby, what's the use of fi[G]ghting?[D]
[Am] By the last reel we'll be c[C]ryin', cryin', c[G]ryin'[Em][Em7][Em][C][D]

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
