To match the recording place a capo on the third fret.
CRemember we promised we'd C/Bnever stop,
AmKeep going until we Gall just dG7ropped.
In a Ftown full of Ghotshots,
It's the Cone who C/Bcan't hold his Amtongue,
Or be outFrun that comes unGdone.
So now your little tongue has split,
And all the little doggies come to have their bit,
With mouths so loud they damn near broke the speed of sound,
They don't bite they simply bark behind your back.
So Chey good C/Btry, you can Amrun all you Glike,G7  
We'll still Fhang out from time to Gtime,
'Cause you're a Cmighty good C/Bfriend of Ammine
And it Fmight be worth you Gholding on a while.
It seems to me now we're all falling,
Like dogs we all find shit to roll in.
This time we've been outdone,
But by Christ we had our fun,
So I'll just sit here waiting for the sun.
So hey good try, you can run all you like,
We'll still hang out from time to time,
'Cause you're a mighty good friend of mine,
And it might be worth you holding on a while.
So hey, I know time it goes so slow,
When you've got no mud to throw,
It seems you hit you square in the nose.
And if you come back a better man, 
Only you'll know.
           CN.C.
So hey good try, you can run all you like,
We'll still hang out from time to time,
'Cause you're a mighty good friend of mine,
And it might be worth you holding on a while.
