A Song About A Friend Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Slug: "I didn't say
nothin'."
Girl: "What?"
Slug: "I didn't say nothin'.'"
Girl: "Yes you did."
Slug: "No I didn't."
Girl: "No you didn't say anything,
you just looked at me funny
like I'm some sort of fucking
freak."
Slug: "I didn't [D]look at you."
Girl: "Yeah,
you looked at me."
Slug: "No."
Girl: "Yeah, you fucking did."
[Em]Slug: "What do you mean freak?"

[Verse 2]
Who's [Em]this one[Am][Em]
about? Who's
this [Am]one about?...[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em][Slug]
These headphones keep me from [Fm]re
[Em]memberin' (rememberin')
Also [Fm]guilty of letting me not forget
[Em](also guilty)
What type of harvest will September
bring? (beckoning)
Everyone to put him to that test
(Somebody please kill me)
I've got a sickness, it feels like love
It's not contagious, take off the gloves
Drop your defenses,
apply a coat of perfect
I'll form the sentences
you try to interpret
It'd all be so simple if I was
rich (But I'm not)
But I'm not so I compensate
with thought (I got a lot)
I got a lot of nothin' that you need
to know (Ay yo)
You would think he wasn't aware of the glow
(Where'd you go?)
Swimmin' in a bottle of imposters
Losin' my ground in the name of
takin' it farther
We can thumb wrestle or we can
make a daughter
I thought it was supposed to get
easier when you worked harder
Stole the city, I still feel helpless
Baited the hook and caught me
a shellfish (?selfish?)
I'm gonna gut it, clean it,
cook it, feed it to a she(?)
And see if I can get her to need [C]me
[Em][Fm]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
[Chorus x2]
And now I'm standin' at the
bottom of the steps
And if I [Fm]tilt my head a [Em]little
I can [Fm]look up her [Em]dress
And I'm willin' to bet that
she'd move if she knew
So I'ma tap her on the shoulder,
I'ma give her a clue
[Slug] All it takes is a stroll down the street

[Verse 5]
[Em]A
pro and he greets and he
sold the life to me
Showed you the meaning of the artery he
keeps on the end of his sleeve
As he pretends he can breathe
Lend me a piece of your superiority
I feel alone on this mission,
I'm wishin' there was more of me
A pair of me, apparently I'm a parasite
caught inside a paradox
A paradise, a parody,
the hair police have [Am]got what you [Em]need
For you to get over me and move
on with Godspeed
I'd let it all go and break eggs for a livin'
If I wasn't so conditioned
to just take what I'm given
Get it, got it, catch it, caught it, and lost it
Yet I can't stop it, it's
embedded in my optics
Plus the frustration is
a product of the gossip
If you can't walk away can you at least
change the topic?
Overextended the amount
of time al[Fm]lotted
Broke the en[Em]gine, I don't know,
cracked the block
Now I'm [Am]standin' at this gravel
roadside fest[Em]ival
And I ain't tryin' to move cause this

[Verse 6]
view is incredible
[Em][Chorus x2]
Standin' at the bottom of the steps
And if I tilt my head a little I can
look up her dress
And I'm willin' to bet that
she'd move if she knew
So I'ma tap her on the shoulder,
I'ma give her a clue

[Verse 7]
[Slug] Fall [Em]in love
with all of she (Fall in
love with all of she)
Hasn't stopped callin'
me (Hasn't stopped callin' me)
Message in a bottle
(There's a message in a bottle)
And I stepped inside a pothole (I stepped
inside a pothole)
Somehow forgot my name
(Somehow forgot my name)
Blew out the flame (She blew
out the flame)
A means to an end (A means
to an end)
Can't even be friends,
it's a song about a friend
She's still in my dreams
(She steals all my dreams)
Angel spread your wings (Angel spread
your wings)
Tryin' to comprehend (I'm still
tryin' to comprehend)
Can't even be friends,

[Interlude 1]
it's a song about a friend
[Em]
[Am][Em]
[Fm][Em]
[Am][Em]

[Verse 8]
[Slug talking] [Em]All
[Fm][Em]
[Em]
[Fm][Em]
together...(Crowd: WHOOO!)
Smile while you do that shit,
you know what I'm saying?
Cause like some of ya'll,
if you ain't smilin' you're ugly I swear to God
Alright, some neat ones
(?Shaniquas?)
Alright, on the count of three. 1. 2.
