Verse 1:
  G        C
We fought it out on dance mats
  G        Am  G
And noticed that our shoes matched
    C        G
By the end my feet were bare
   Am        D
Cause you said "we now share!"
   G        C
And I never thought we could have
  G       Am G
But I’m so glad we do have
   C        G
And I hope that you do know
   Am    D   G     Gsus4 G
That I'm just being  slow

G C G  Am G C G Am D G Gsus4 G

Verse 2:
  G            C
We thrilled ourselves with singing
G      Am  G   C
Harmonies to Sion Glyn's house, where we did
G      Am        D
go    To practice for our shows
     G       C
Now I’m afraid to say I lost  those
G           Am  G
Tapes that made these trips great
   C        G
And I hope that you do know
   Am    D  G
That I’m just being  slow

G C G  Am G C G Am D G Gsus4 G

Verse 3:
  G          C
We both clocked an old trickster
  G      Am G
His wife an oily picture
C         G     Am       D
Drinking before I  had even opened my left eye
     G       C
And that day we nearly died, right
  G         Am  G
You know you saved my life, right?
  C         G
And I hope that you do know
   Am    D   G
That I’m just being  slow

Verse 4:
   G        C
Last year I went more mental
   G      Am G
And I lost another special
   C      G
I was ready to be folded
    Am        D
Into a drawer or an envelope
  G       C
And posted off to heaven
    G       Am G
So you took decisive action
      C          G
And I never thanked you, that I know
   Am  D   G
Cause I was being slow

Verse 5:
  G      C
So let us go on skating
    G            Am G
Through days, and years, through all winds
     C        G
And I am glad that we are close
   Am        D
I am glad that we are close
       G     C
And if you’re hungry or alone
G        Am  G
Cate, I’ll be at home
   C        G
And I hope that you do know
   Am    D   G
That I’m just being slow

Verse 6:
  G         C
So, two more times for luck
    G         Am  G
And I’m sorry girl you’re stuck with
C         G
me, And I hope you know
   Am       D
That I’m just being slow
    G         C
And you hate all of those folk bands
   G         Am G
Cause they ripped off my albums
    C        G
And I’m glad that we are friends
     Am       D       G
Until the end, until the end, until the end
     C        G
Yeah, I’m glad that we are friends
     Am       D       C    G
Until the end, until the end, until the end
