Intro (x4): G Bm C
 
Verse 1:
             (nc)       G G* C 
I said you look pretty
             (nc)       G G* C 
All strung out on coke 
             (nc)        G G* C 
You said it's not funny 
             (nc)      G G* C 
But it wasn't a joke
             (nc)      G G* C 
And you won't remember 
             (nc)      G G* C 
But I carried you home 
             (nc)      G G* C 
You sat in the shower 
             (nc)      G G* C 
While I washed off your clothes
 
Chorus:
     D                Em           D
But isn't that what friends are for
             C           G
Even if we used to be more?
         A          Am         G G* C 
Like lovers or partners in crime
                       G G* C 
And you were still mine
 
Verse 2:
          (nc)             G G* C 
You said we should get out
          (nc)       G G* C 
While we still could 
          (nc)         G G* C 
And I shoulda listened 
          (nc)      G G* C 
But I misunderstood 
          (nc)      G G* C 
Thought you wanted me tied down 
          (nc)     G G* C 
I started to chafe 
          (nc)           G G* C 
But it's easy to see now
          (nc)           G G* C 
You just wanted me safe
 
Chorus:
      D                  Em          D
And when the cops broke down our door
                     C           G
And held us both against our floor
                   A         Am            G G* C 
Did we look like lovers or partners in crime?
                      G G* C 
Did you look like mine?
     D                 Em  D
Or did we look like fools
            C            G
Tryna get away with it all?
                    Cm       G
Thinkin' we'd be saved by a call
           A  Am
For each other
                      G G* C 
We were on the same boat
 
Interlude (x4): G G* C 
 
Verse 3:
         (nc)          G G* C 
Didn't see you for ages
         (nc)             G G* C 
Didn't pick up your phone 
         (nc)            G G* C 
Made it out of our cages 
         (nc)           G G* C 
Never made it back home 
         (nc)           G G* C 
I was late to the party 
         (nc)           G G* C 
Of an old family friend 
         (nc)             G G* C 
I was lookin' for parkin'
         (nc)           G G* C 
Thought I saw you again
 
Chorus:
              Em      D
Someone I've seen before
                  C      G*           A
You couldn't look any more like a lover
         Am        G G* C 
Or a partner in crime
                   G G* C 
Or something of mine
 
Outro:
           (nc)       G G* C 
I said you look pretty 
           (nc)        G G* C 
All strung out on coke 
           (nc)        G G* C 
You said it's not funny 
           (nc)      G G* C 
But it wasn't a joke
