INTRO:

[play: arpeggioed E]


VERSE:
       E                            A                    E
Well I can't find my best friend to help me through this night
  G#m                C#m                  A                B
I can't find my best friend because she's somewhere out of sight
  C#m         G#m          A               G#m
I miss her, I miss her and let there be no doubt
       A                  G#m        A                  B
When I can't find my best friend the world turns inside out
  A                  G#m            A                     E
I can't find my best friend and the world's turned inside out


[play: arpeggioed E to arpeggioed B]


VERSE:
  E                                A                  E
I can't find my best friend and my laugh just not the same
  G#m                    C#m          A             B
I knew I'd feel close to her before I ever knew her name
       C#m            G#m          A                    G#m
I feel lost, a little lost and the world keeps spinning around
      A                  G#m            A                  B
But I can't find my best friend and the world spins upside down
  A                  G#m            A                       E    B
I can't find my best friend and the world's spinning upside down


BRIDGE:
C#m             G#m
  Oh dark night.
C#m                                         G#m
  I want you to see that I've actually been doing all right
I been doing all right
                   B                   A
It's just that the world feels cold to me


VERSE:
  E                            A               E
I can't find my best friend to help me in this hour
    G#m                 C#m             A              B
Now I've learned how to love but it's demanding all my power

     C#m        G#m      A              G#m
It's hard, it's hard for me to know the end
     A                 G#m       A                  B
I suppose I'll find my way but I can't find my best friend
     A                 G#m       A                  E
I suppose I'll find my way but I can't find my best friend.


[end on a slow arpeggioed E and take the applause...]
