A
I remember quite well
The first time I took you home
            D
We were so young
           A
I didn't think much of you
          E7
Sure you were cute and full of tricks
D
And a whole lot brighter than a guinea pig
A                   D4               A
But I didn't think much of you back then

A
And I think you loved me first
Cause it sure took me a while
        D
To figure out
                                A
That you were kinda special
                   E7
But now you're old and full of ticks
           D
And you yell at everybody just for kicks
        A                          D4           A
And I wish that you would just shut up


CHORUS:
A
Why do you scream at me
Why do you scream
                                           D
I don't know why you have to do that
Cause things don't seem
                A
All that bad to me
E7
Oh I'm beggin' you please
        A 
Baby please don't scream



A
Do you remember that old cat
Who beat you up so bad
                        D
You almost didn't make it
                        A
I almost couldn't take it
                        E7
But now you're mean and paranoid
                D
There's not a piece of this house that you haven't destroyed
        A                          D4           A
And I wish that you would just shut up.


CHORUS 

A
You know I've loved a lot of men
And moved far away from them
                        D
And I hate to say it
                                A
But you're my oldest friend
             E7
And I'm glad you're around
                D
Cause you still know how to make my favorite sound
        A                          D4           A
But then I wish that you would just shut up.
