[Intro]
G C G C G C
[Verse 1]
C
I'm beginning to like you
G
But, you know that ain't right
D
'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist
G
Till I'm all crooked inside
C
Then you'll take all you gave me
G
Like it never was there
D
And I think that I might,
No! I know
G
Yes, I will help you there
'Cause....
[Chorus]
G
I've done it before
C G
And I'd do it again
D
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
G
My own best friend
[Verse 2]
C
I'm a victim of friction
G
I got too close to see
D
Yeah, we sparked in the dark
G
And God hung a light on me
C
And the lamp gets real heavy
G
Hangs from my heart
D
And it comes
And it goes
G
Till I can't tell the difference apart
But....
[Chorus]
G
I've done it before
C G
And I'd do it again
D
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
G
My own best friend
[Verse 3]
D
So many people say
G
I'll never work out that way
B7
You can't stand the heat
C
While you're watching your heart just melt away
A
In the basement on a rainy day
D
La la la
C
La la la
Bm
La la la
D
La la la La La.....
[Verse 4]
C
There's a motel in Shreveport
G
Don't ask me where, please
D
They check in
They check out
G
By the light of the color T.V.'s
C
The maid calls you Honey
G
She makes your bed slow
D
And she speaks
Of the sheets That don't fit
G
But you know that she knows
[Chorus]
G
I've done it before
C G
And I'd do it again
D
'Cause it's the only time
That makes me feel like I'm
G
My own best friend
G
My own best friend
G
My own best friend
G
My own best friend
