Intro E/E
Verse 1
E
I was doin' all those things which I used to hate the worst
/F# /G#
I was listenin' to Joni Mitchell and I was tucking in my shirt
Asus2
Now I smiled like a puppy dog who's scratching all his fleas
E
I’ll itch right down to the bone and it wouldn't even hurt
E
There's times that I remember yeah and there's the things that I forget
/F# /G#
Like the colour of your eyes and the time that we first met
Asus2
But I always take the time out and it's a hurtin' more and more
E
To feel my heart jump out of my chest when I'm knocking at your door
Chorus
G#m
For a big old dog he sure acts like a cat
G#
The more you wanna play the more he'll scratch back
Asus2 E
Oh, oh oh oh
G#m
As sweet as you've been it just don't add up
G#
And I'm drinking sweet bubbles from a paper cup
A Am E
I know who you and you've been so good to me so far
Verse 2
E
Yeah forgot all my girlfriend's and even washed my hair
/F# /G#
And I did all that couple stuff and I pretended that I cared
Asus2
And I smiled like a twelve year old who wanted to stay 'round
E
After all the after dinner drinks had been put down
Chorus
G#m
Eight is enough but nine's too much
G#
Your real love for me's like an interstate truck
Asus2 E
Oh no, oh oh no
G#m
If I've been such a lightweight
G#
Why can't I just be blown away from
A Am
Who you are and you've been so good to me so far
Bridge
F#m
You can call and I won't cry I just can't find the reason why
A Am E
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far
Verse 3
E
I've been doing all those things which I never did at all
/F# /G#
And you sure would laugh if you hear the crap I talk
Asus2
But I never saw it coming I just couldn't see that morning rain
E
That soiled all that clothes that I left hanging out again
Bridge
F#m
You can call and I won't cry I just can't find the reason why
A Am E
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far
F#m
You can call and I won't cry I just don't know the reason why
A Am E
I know who you are and you've been so good to me so far
Outro
E
You've been so good to me so far
E
You've been so good to me so far
