[VERSE 1]
C                  F                    C
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
                 Em G
We all have sorrow
C               F
But if we are wise
                 C                G C
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong

Somebody to lean on

C                     F
Please swallow your pride
F          C                   Em G
If I have things you need to borrow

C                F
For no one can fill
F              C
Those of your needs
C                G    C
That you won't let show

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

If there is a load you have to bear
