🎸 Verse:
E                             B
The odds have built up of the chance you're going down,
              C                            B
'cause you're looking pretty guilty in the court of the crown,
       E                            B
And my friend's getting eager to complete this mission,
     C                        B
It's better all round just to sign the confession.
        E                            B
Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty as hell,
   C                                  B
My friend's got a feeling that you're feeling unwell,
    E                          B
Who cares about the truth, the truth's there to bend,
C                    B
Do as I say I'm your only friend.

🎸 Verse:
    E                                   B
The wicked step father that took a step farther,
           C                   B
Played the patron saint in his shining armour,
         E                  B
With his sword of power and shield to protect you,
C                   B
Tongue hanging out, going to get you.
    E                       B
You know I want to hug you, know I want to kiss you,
          C                    B
It's your dear old pop and you know I really miss you,
       E                  B
In the pantomime of life, he's behind you,
C                         B
Says no I'm just here to remind you.

Best friend I'm all that you've got
(Pretend)
A                                    E
Best friend if you like it or not
(Pretend)
A                                    E
Best friend so don't talk to them

🎸 Post-Chorus:
E        F      D       F E
Call yourself a friend,
     E         F         D      F E
That drives me round the bend,
    E       F        D     F E
You call me when you like,
    E       F        D
And call me what you like.


🎸 Verse:
           E                        B
Was it the father or the son or the holy ghost,
    C                            B
The butler in the kitchen or the game-show host,
    E                              B
The policeman on the corner who'll show you the way,
    C                            B
The geezer with a beard comes on Xmas day.
              E                             B
Could be your mother or your father or your sister or your brother,
        C                                  B
Doesn't matter who it is they'll say there ain't no other,
E                          B
Might never see 'em or you meet them every day,
    C                         B
But who gives a damn when you hear them say.

And call me what you like
