(Intro)
     Gm
Your mama's got nothing on me
     Cm
Your daddy's got nothing on me
        D#                        D
And the world that sleeps and its lunacy
        Gm
Its got nothing on me

   Gm
No stars got nothing on me
     Cm
Your son's got nothing on me
        D#                    D
And the fool who sees its the thief that needs
        Gm
Has got nothing on me

Gm                                   Cm
   You know its not because the light here gets brighter
D#                      D
  And its not that I'm evil
Gm  
  I got a friend in the devil

Gm
  But I can't even be your friend
Cm
  I can't even be your friend
D#             D       Gm
  I can't even be your friend

Gm Transition to G
G A# D A# x4

(Verse)
G        A#           D
 I could get so wound up
        A#     G
But I'd feel alright
         A#       D
And If i get some rest
    A#        G
Yea that'd be nice
       A#           D            A#
When I shouldn't do it, I should do it
G        A#          D          A#      C
 What ya think's got nothing to do with this
Before you were born, I was already sinnin'

G A# D A# 

G A# D A#         G
       Yea, yea yea
       A#             D
When I get you worked up, 
       A#      G
When I work it out,
       A#        D
And If I get you down
       A#       G
I just shout it out
      A#          D            A#
I may not have it all, but the rest will do
G          A#          D             A#      C
 When it's nothin' the kids, oughta' do with you
Before you were born, I was already sinnin'

(Chorus)
D#     A#             D             D#
  Its not because the light here is brighter
D#                      A#
  And its not that I'm evil
       D                D#
I just don't like to pretend
D#                  D       Gm
  That I could ever be your friend

(Guitar Solo) G A# D A# x4

(Verse)
G             A#        D
 If you don't listen so good
      A#     G
I can hum it out
   A#    D     A#    G
Na na na na na na na na
         A#           D
I know I shouldn't do it
       A#
I just do it
G            A#          D          A#      C
 And what ya think's got nothing to do with it
Before you were born, I was already sinnin'

(Chorus)
D#     A#             D             D#
  Its not because the light here is brighter
D#                      A#
  And its not that I'm evil
       D                
I just don't like to pretend

(Outro)
G             A#      D     A#
 That I could be your friend
G             A#      D     A#
I could never be your friend
G        A#       D     A#
 I never needed a friend
G        A#       D     A#
 I don't wanna be friends
G
You'll never find a friend like me
