D5                          G5 
Well I shoulda known better with a friend like you 
       A5                          D5 
You'd get me in trouble like you always do 
                             G5 
Drop by the house to write a song or two 
        A5                      D5 
Then we wind up drunk in the afternoon 
 

        G5             A5 
And we tell a joke, light up a smoke 
D5                       G5 
Laugh about how we're both so broke 
     D5                                    A5 
And tell each other we're gonna make it someday 
G5                     A5 
One verse to go, and even though 
D5                             G5 
They'll never play us on the radio 
      D5                      A5       D5 
Hell we ain't in it for the money anyway  
 
 
Well our friends are all working and they don't understand 
Creative juices flow from a 12-oz can 
A pile of empties when the day is through 
Well I shoulda known better with a friend like you 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Well I better sober up, I've got a gig tonight 
You said "Have another" and I said "Alright" 
Well I missed my gig, now I guess I'm screwed 
Shoulda known better with a friend like you 
 
(repeat chorus)
