Verse 1:
         B                 F#m
She said Nathan I need ninety bucks
     C#m          E
Puts Popov in a paper cup
     B                         F#m         C#m   E
It’s like she’s trying to burn her insides clean
    B                     F#m
She shimmers like some gasoline
    C#m                  E
All smoke and shaky hands
B                         F#m         C#m  E7
Shuts the shades and hits me with her plan

Verse 2:
B                   F#m
Go back and get certified
C#m             E
X-ray tech and MRIs
B                      F#m       C#m     E
Stick with it and finally see it through
    B                   F#m
I’m sick of all this wilderness
    C#m                E
The businessmen on business trips
    B                    F#m          C#m  E
The distance goes beyond the rate and time

Verse 3:
    B                          F#m
But school don’t start 'til early Fall
  C#m                 E
I went ahead and made a call
B                    F#m
Sometimes I can push ahead
     C#m                    E
Some nights the wheels just spin

Chorus:
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend

Verrse 4:
      B                 F#m
Well, Caesar's in a car right now
   C#m               E
He says he isn’t far right now
       B                      F#m         C#m    E7
If I’m short when he shows up he’ll be so pissed
       B                     F#m
'Cause credit's something he don’t do
C#m                   E
Cash is king at three for two
     B                      F#m       C#m  E7
I’ve seen him use his hands to make a fist

Verse 5:
  B                      F#m
I know that I’ve been in and out
   C#m                      E
Connections they get frayed and fraught
B                  F#m        C#m  E7
Clouded with a million little lies
    B              F#m
The medication sometimes works
    C#m                   E
The drinking probably doesn’t help
    B                          F#m            C#m  E7
The shepherd should still love the lambs he’s lost

Verse 6:
           B                     F#m
'Cause the flock can wander from his eyes
    C#m                   E
The hills are huge the valley's wide
    B               F#m
The traffic on the 405
    C#m                   E
The way these wheels just spin

Chorus:
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend

So thank you for the ninety bucks
C#m                    E
Get your coat, give me a hug
B                      F#m        C#m   E7
Now it’s probably time for you to leave
B                   F#m
Go back to your little house
     C#m                    E
Your driveway and your pull-out couch
    B                     F#m       C#m  E7
And come back at the same time in a week

Verse 8:
    B                    F#m
The lamb can wander from the flock
   C#m                   E
In shopping malls and parking lots
    B                         F#m
Sometimes the shepherd brings him back
     C#m                    E
Some nights the wheels just spin

Chorus:
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend

   Nathan, you’re my only friend
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend
B                         E      E7
   Nathan, you’re my only friend
B                         E      E7 B
   Nathan, you’re my only friend
