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

And oh, how proud of you I am every day
A                                 G
Oh, you know that I’m never gonna tell you
    C G/D  Am   G             Am       D     G

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
