Verse

Well I d never sleep with your ex girlfriend

Even if she starts to flirt with me again

Allow me to apologize for my slightly wicked thoughts

Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got

If a fight breaks out and you re the cause of it

In some redneck bar where you ve been talkin shit

I will not forsake you later in that parking lot

Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got

Chorus

Well through the laughter and the tears

We go stumbling through the years

A bit dysfunctional well folks might say

Well I ve got the dirt on you

And you ve got plenty on me too

So I pray we stay together all our days

Solo on verse/intro chords

Verse

So when you re on a date and you finally bring that girl home

Put a little Captain Beefheart on the stereo and disconnect the phone

I ll show up drunk and raving

And then I ll pass out on the spot

Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got

Chorus

Well through the laughter and the tears

We go stumbling through the years

A bit dysfunctional well folks might say

Well I ve got the dirt on you

And you ve got plenty on me too

So I pray we stay together all our days Dear lord!

So I pray we stay together all our days
