G          Em                 G       Em 
You buy me dinner when I'm in town 
G           Em              G        Em 
talk about records that you know
D                       C                   G      Em   G   Em 
Lay the friendship card upon me and out the door
G        Em               G         Em 
Somebody said we hurt you feelings 
G        Em           G      Em
with our little dirty jokes
D                  C                    G       Em  G  Em
Then you accused us of stealing back our soul


[Chorus]

D                         C
Then you say that we're the assholes
 D                         C
Cause we bitched about the hassles
Bm                            Am
While you're sleeping in your castles
 G              Em              G     Em  G  Em  G  Em
And we're still riding down the road


[Verse]

G     Em              G         Em   
And I hear you're all offended      
G      Em             G     Em G Em G Em
by the letters that I wrote
 D                          C          G    Em G Em
It's just a shame it hadn't ended long ago
G        Em                     G    Em
Then you sicked your lawyers on me
G         Em            G      Em
Told them to go for the throat
D                         C                   G   Em G Em
And you just sat back and watched them have a go


[Chorus]

D                           C 
Then you say that we're the assholes
D                          C
Cause we bitched about the hassles
Bm                            Am
While you're sleeping in your castles
G               Em              G     Em  G  Em  G  Em
And we're still riding down the road


[Bridge]

D                 C                             G        C
But I never would deny we have our share of the blame to absorb
D                                C                                G
But when you say that you're the reason for the things that we've achieved
                         Am
I want to kick down your door

G           Em                 G         Em
You like to say that we're the assholes
G        Em               G     Em
As if we somehow done you wrong
D                  C                 G  Em G  Em
We just do what we have to, to carry on
G               Em           G       Em
I'm sure you'll find another asshole
G    Em             G    Em
To replace us for a song
 D                          C                   G          C         G 
You'll keep your office and expense account and we'll keep traveling along
 D                               c
And When you say that we're all assholes
D                        C
Guess it'd be useless to deny                      
Bm                         Am     G    Em  G  Em  G  Em  G 
I'm just saying you're the reason why
