John Prine -- Be My Friend Tonight
[Verse 1]
D G
I threw a party. Nobody came
D E7 A7
I bought all the tickets. They cancelled the game.
D G
I give you my picture. It didn't fit your frame
D A D
Be my friend tonight
[Chorus]
G D
Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight.
G D A7
I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light.
D G
Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right
D A D
Come on Honey, be my friend tonight
[Verse 2]
D G
Now you bring the glasses and I'll bring the wine
D E7 A7
I'll rub your shoulders just like they were mine
D G
I won't make no passes just passing time
D A D
If your're only gonna be my buddy tonight
[Chorus]
G D
Be my friend tonight. Be my friend tonight.
G D A7
I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light.

Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right

Come on Honey, be my friend tonight

Be my friend tonight
