Well I d never sleep with your ex girlfriend

Even if she starts to flirt with me again
C                     D              G      F      C
     Allow me to apologize for my slightly wicked thoughts

Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got

If a fight breaks out and you re the cause of it

In some redneck bar where you ve been talkin  shit
        C               D    G       F       C
I will not forsake you later in that parking lot
       G                  D                  G             G
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got

                   C                C
Well through the laughter and the tears
       G                     G
We go stumbling through the years
  G              G                    D          D
A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
           C               C
Well I ve got the dirt on you
               G      F     C
And you ve got plenty on me too
      G              D              G            G
So I pray we stay together all our days
