[A] [G]
[F#] [F#m] [A]
[D] [G] I'm walking [D] through Harlem, stomach squeals just [A] a little more.
[G]
My stagecoach with feathers and [D] footprints, [G] pulls up to my [A] soapbox door.
[C#m] A little lady with a pearl-handled necktie, tied to the [D] driver's fence.
[A] Breeze in my [D] face, burbling in coat-possessed [C] words.
[D#]
[A] Haven't I seen you somewhere in heaven?
[D] Just an [A] accident.
Oh man, you know how I felt.
[G] [E]
[B] The least I could ask was if it was [F#] the west side,
where my feet, they [A] howled in pain.
[G] And the wheels from the [Bm] bandwagon, they cut very deep,
[G] and the same thing in my [A] mind as the rain.
[C#] And as she pulled away, I could see her words,
they're staggering in the [D] fall of my muddy tent.
[A] I picked them up and [D] brushed them off to see what they said.
[F#] [A] You wouldn't believe, she came around to my room with a tooth in the middle.
[D] Bring up a bottle and a [Em] president.
[C#] Find it out, it's not so easy.
[F#m] Especially when you're [D] only a friend.
[A] Eating toxic this season, it feels just like you [D] can do the same.
[A]
[E]
[G] Riding through LA, I'm on my bicycle,
[C#] and I'm sitting with my [G] old buddies.
They say, man, you don't look the way [A] you usually do.
[C#m] I say, well, some people, they look like a coin box.
They say, you ain't got no [D] coins to spare.
[A] I lay back [D] and I thought to myself,
[A] I said this,
and [A] just picked up my [F#m] pride from underneath the big [D] phone,
and I took a breath [A] right out of my hand.
[C#] Find it out, especially [D] when you're only a friend.
Eating [G#] toxic this season, it feels [D] just like you can do the same.
[A]
[F#m] [G] [B] Got out of the [Dm] Scandinavian jail,
[G] and I'm on my way straight home [A] to you.
I feel [F#] so lonely, I take a quick look in the mirror.
[D] Make sure my [G#] friend's here with me [A] too.
You [C#] know good and well I don't drink [E] coffee.
So you [D] fill my cup full of sand.
[C#m] Frozen tea leaves on the bottom.
[A] Chair's sticking around [D] on the broken edge.
My coat [F#m] that you let your dog lay by the [A] fire on,
and your cat, he attacks you from his pillbox ledge.
I thought you were [Dm] my friend too.
[A] Shadow comes around [Dm] before me.
[C#]
[E] Especially when you're only a friend.
Eating toxic this season, it feels just like [D] you can do the same.
