[Verse 1]

                 C
These friends of mine
           G
Live their lives
            C
Spend their time
   F      C
Hoping to find
         C
Who they are
            G
How they're made
             C
Maybe they'd help
            F
To find the way


[Verse 2]

                 C
These friends of mine
          G
They have lives
          Am
They work hard
             F
To live them right
              C
And when they laugh
            G
It makes me high
              Am
They'd take a train
             F
Ten thousand miles
              G    F
Before they'd fly


[Chorus]

                 C
These friends of mine
          G
They feel alone
                   Am
When the shows are over
                    F
Don't know where to go
        C
In Philadelphia
             G
At Christmas time
              Am
They question love
                F
Wonder why they try


[Chorus]

    F
And when the show is over
      G
How I hope that they discover
C         G        Am7
 The joy that they bring
    F
And I hope they remember
     G
This bond we have together
   C         G       Am7
And how they love to sing


[Verse 4]

                 C
These friends of mine
            G
Live in New York
          Am
They were raised
        F
In Michigan
                C
They don't know things
                C
They don't hold hands
            Am
Guard their hearts
              F
The best they can


[Chorus]

    F
And when the show is over
      G
How I hope that they discover
C         G        Am7
 The joy that they bring
    F
And I hope they remember
     G
This bond we have together
   C         G       Am7
And how they love to sing
C
 They sure love to sing

[Outro]

      C             G
Maybe I needed this time
        Am           F
To be reminded for myself
      C             G
Maybe I needed this time
         Am          F
To be reminded for myself
Fm    Dm      C
How I love to sing
