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
