Don't Tell Our Friends About Me

	  		

 

 

G  G/F#  C    D   

G     G/F#         C           D   
The older I am, the wiser I'm not 
G     G/F#         C           D   
and I felt ashamed of how angry I got 
G         G/F#                    Em 
when I was not getting my message across 
D                                           C 
I know you can't stand me when that's how I talk 
D                                           C 
when I summon a duel or when I brandish a thought 
G         G/F#                  Em 
I was wrong to turn honesty against you 
D                                        C 
and sure, some of them could use a good talk 

G      G/F#         C                    D   
but babe, don't tell all our friends about me 
G         G/F#        C                   D   
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me 


I'll sleep on the couch if you want me to 
or I can be a good dog and just sit with you 
Do whatever it is that you ask me to do 
'til you forgive me and I forgive you 
I know you got the beating but I caught a feeeling 
Frankly, I don't know what else I can confess to you 
Lovers may quarrel and spar sometimes, 

But babe, don't tell all our friends about me 
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me 

Break: 

That I know I fucked up 
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up,  
But babe, don't tell all our friends about me 

You said you just needed some time to adjust 
It's been 48 hours and 3 weeks and 2 months 
and the hummingbirds hum, the workerbees buzz 
You put too much confidence in the people you trust 
Enemies or friends, they'll all tend to judge  
and I'll write songs that'll help me deal with issues, 
and sometimes people will hear too much  

But babe, they don't tell all our friends about us 
No, mostly they'll just start to blush 
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me 
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me 

Break: 

That I know I fucked up 
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up  
I know I fucked up,  
But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
