intro

Dm C F G x 2

verse

Dm
i was tapping my foot
C
on a friday night
A#
to my favorite band
F
i was pushed aside
Dm
i said “hey , don’t push me
C
no one pushes me”
A#
when i was face to face
F
with the woman i admired

A# F
and she gave me this look
C
i could not believe
A# F
and the cold stare remained
C
i wanted to leave

verse

see , i do believe anger
is offset by sorrow
what you destroy today
you might regret tomorrow
when you’re young and defensive
it comes off offensive
and its hard to repay
the tolerance that you’ve borrowed

the lasting relationship
sinks right off the pier
who wears the pants
it’s faded but clear

chorus

F
she’s your girlfriend
C
seems she ain’t too fond of me
A#
i guess that that’s the way
F
it was meant to be
C
there we were just we 3
A# F C
you , your girlfriend , and me

intro

verse

i’ve known you forever
you two just met
so easily amused
how fast we forget
and my jealousy
my self – righteous greed
she’s a bit like a book
i’m too farsighted to read

and i wish you the best
i sometimes feel the need
to say “remember me”

chorus

yeah , she’s your girlfriend
as far as we can see
does she look at you
the way she looks at me
and here we are , just we 3
you , your girlfriend , and me

she’s your girlfriend
it’s getting harder to see
better just take her home
better just let it be
when she walks out that door
you’ll come looking for me

fadeout

A# F C
