Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I'm feelin' so good right now
There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past
He buys me a brandy
Or could it be he's really just after my ass?
He likes the clothes I wear
He says he likes a man to dress in season
But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind
Gm7 C-->
What's the reason?
Chorus
How many friends have I really got?
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
Suddenly it's a silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
Well, I look like a fool, now, if I try and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late
But now I think I've reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate?
[repeat chorus]
It's all like a dream you know
When you're still up early in the morning
And you all sit together to watch the sun come through
But things don't look so good
When you could use a bit of warning
Then you know that no one will ever speak the truth about you.
[repeat chorus]
When I first signed the contract, it was more than a handshake then
I know it still is, but there's a plain fact
We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft guts
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we've known
How come they bum us up
[repeat chorus]
one of the best songs on the album.
