F#*
[Verse 1]
F#*                      B/D#  
Here we are, come see us driving in your car
                           A/C#  F#*
In the morning's dim, break it off with him
F#*                                 B/D#  
You said something there. Something throws me from my chair

I refuse to talk this hour, 'cause I don't need this now
[Chorus 1]
D#m*                     B/D#  
You're a sure thing, but I know
        F#*
I don't need this now.
D#m*                    B/D#  
You're an old friend we both know
        F#*
I could take you out.
[Verse 2]
And F#last night I did something Bthat I don't wanna hear
Bring your Asister out, we'll be F#leaving now
And F#I punched upset, and it's Bbuzzing in my ear
Bring your Asister outB, we'll be F#leaving now
[Chorus 2]
D#m*                    B/D#  
You're a sure thing but I know
You can F#count me out
D#m*                     B/D#  
You're an old friend. We both know
I could F#take you out

[Verse 3]
F#Here we are, come see us Bfiling in my car and Atake a spin
Break it F#off with him
He says F#something there. Something Bthrows me from my chair
Bring your Asister outB, we'll be F#leaving now
[Chorus 3]
