Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Dm C G Mr. President, do you have a minute? Dm C A Yeah, what is it, Mr. Secretary? Dm I have this friend C G He's quite a guy Dm C A He's in a bit of a bind and he needs advice How can I help you- Dm Not me, this friend, it's a friend All right C G He's in the public eye Dm Well, did something wrong C A And he paid the price, expensive price Dm C Made a mistake in his personal life G And now it's bleeding over into the professional Dm C His enemies are said to strike A With news that's suited to a church confessional Dm What they think they know C G Isn't what happened and they know I know Dm C A They won't stop until the world turns upside down Dm So this friend? Yup C G Did he break the law? Dm No sir, what he did was private C A And no one saw. No one saw? No one saw! Dm Then your friend C G Should just move on Dm C A Don't respond, stay quiet until these men are gone- Dm But he can't just not respond, these men C G Whisper again and again until his reputation's in the mud Dm C These men, these envious venomous men A Won't let go the scent till they taste blood. Dm But do they need to know? C G If he's really done nothing wrong It doesn't matter if Dm C A The world turns upside down Dm Calm down C Damned if I do or if I don't G But I won't be accused of financial impropriety G I don't see how Dm C They can take away what I say A If I say it first they can make it worse with their rank, false piety Dm People will make fun of this C But I can get in front of this G I can take the pain and shame Dm But I will clear my name C A I will show them all in the end Dm You mean your, friend? C G Yeah, I mean my friend Dm C A He's come too far for them to drag him through the dirt Dm Well I don't know your friend C G But I know you're MY friend Dm C A Dm Alexander, be careful who you hurt, who you hurt, who you hurt
