[Intro]
G C G C G C
 
[Verse 1]
                   C
I'm beginning to like you
                          G
But, you know that ain't right
                     D
'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist
                       G
Till I'm all crooked inside
                          C
Then you'll take all you gave me
                    G
Like it never was there
        D
And I think that I might,
 
No! I know
                       G
Yes, I will help you there
 
'Cause....
 
[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time
 
That makes me feel like I'm
               G
My own best friend
 
[Verse 2]
                    C
I'm a victim of friction
                    G
I got too close to see
            D
Yeah, we sparked in the dark
                        G
And God hung a light on me
                        C
And the lamp gets real heavy
                G
Hangs from my heart
         D
And it comes
 
And it goes
                                   G
Till I can't tell the difference apart
 
But....
 
[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time
 
That makes me feel like I'm
               G
My own best friend
 
[Verse 3]
          D
So many people say
                      G
I'll never work out that way
            B7
You can't stand the heat
                                       C
While you're watching your heart just melt away
                      A
In the basement on a rainy day
D
La la la
C
La la la
Bm
La la la
            D
La la la La La.....
 
[Verse 4]
                         C
There's a motel in Shreveport
                      G
Don't ask me where, please
           D
They check in
 
They check out
                            G
By the light of the color T.V.'s
                     C
The maid calls you Honey
                     G
She makes your bed slow
           D
And she speaks
 
Of the sheets That don't fit
                        G
But you know that she knows
 
[Chorus]
                G
I've done it before
 C              G
And I'd do it again
                 D
'Cause it's the only time
 
That makes me feel like I'm
               G
My own best friend
               G
My own best friend
               G
My own best friend
               G
My own best friend
