Hey, here I'm gonna sit right here in the front row.
What's your name, sir?
Charles.
Charles, yeah.
Me and Charles graduated high [F] school together.
Yeah.
And he didn't come to [Ab] the 10-year reunion
or the 20-year reunion.
And I wonder what happened to him.
But I saw Charles tonight.
I recognized him out in the crowd.
And so I thought a lot about Charles
because we used to hang out on the weekends back in the day.
And we would go to the mall on Saturday night together.
And we would try to pick up girls.
We never did pick up no girls, but we
ate a lot of caramel corn.
[F] [G] Anyway, [Abm] I thought a lot about Charles after [Bm] high school.
So much that I wrote a song in honor of [Em] our friendship.
[A]
[Bb] [Bm]
How long have I known you?
I think of you as my best friend.
[E] You've heard [Bm] accusations about me and your girlfriend.
I can't believe you don't trust me.
After all that we've been through.
I've got a heart and a conscience.
And I'd never do that to you.
Yeah, that's a lie.
I didn't sleep with your woman.
We stayed awake all night.
I'm telling the truth.
[D] I heard a whisper in your [Bm] name, Charles.
[G] Thought I was holding [Bm] her tight.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Everybody tells you that I am a backdoor man.
Sneaking [D] around, stealing love
[Bm] wherever I can.
Well, I just gossip and romance.
Yeah, you don't need to hear it from me.
Yes, you do.
Don't look too straight in the eye.
Because the truth will set me at bay.
Yeah, that's a lie.
I didn't sleep with your woman.
We stayed awake all night.
I'm telling the [D] truth.
I heard a whisper in your name, [Bm] Charles.
Thought I was holding her [G] tight.
