Verse
         G5                 D5           G5           G5
Well I d never sleep with your ex girlfriend
      G5                G5             D5             D5
Even if she starts to flirt with me again
C5                     D5              G5      F5      C5
     Allow me to apologize for my slightly wicked thoughts
      G5                   D5                  G5        G5
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got


      G5                    D5                  G5            G5
If a fight breaks out and you re the cause of it
         G5                G5                     D5          D5
In some redneck bar where you ve been talkin  shit
        C5               D5    G5       F5       C5
I will not forsake you later in that parking lot
       G5                  D5                  G5             G5
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got


Chorus

                   C5                C5
Well through the laughter and the tears
       G5                     G5
We go stumbling through the years
  G5              G5                    D5          D5
A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
           C5               C5
Well I ve got the dirt on you
               G5      F5     C5
And you ve got plenty on me too
      G5              D5              G5            G5
So I pray we stay together all our days

Put a little Captain Beefheart on the stereo and disconnect the phone
     C5                  D5
