My Own Best Friend

G C G C G C

[Verse 1]
                   C
I'm beginning to like you
                          G
But, you know that ain't right
                     D
'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist
                       G
Till I'm all crooked inside
                          C
Then you'll take all you gave me
                    G
Like it never was there
        D
And I think that I might,

No! I know
                       G
Yes, I will help you there

'Cause....

[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm
               G
My own best friend

[Verse 2]
                    C
I'm a victim of friction
                    G
I got too close to see
            D
Yeah, we sparked in the dark
                        G
And God hung a light on me
                        C
And the lamp gets real heavy
                G
Hangs from my heart
         D
And it comes

And it goes
                                   G
Till I can't tell the difference apart

But....

[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm
               G
My own best friend

[Verse 3]
          D
So many people say
                      G
I'll never work out that way
            B7
You can't stand the heat
                                       C
While you're watching your heart just melt away
                      A
In the basement on a rainy day
D
La la la
C
La la la
Bm
La la la
            D
La la la La La.....

[Verse 4]
                         C
There's a motel in Shreveport
                      G
Don't ask me where, please
           D
They check in

They check out
                            G
By the light of the color T.V.'s
                     C
The maid calls you Honey
                     G
She makes your bed slow
           D
And she speaks

Of the sheets That don't fit
                        G
But you know that she knows

[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm
               G

               G
My own best friend
               G

               G
