Am

[Verse 1]
Am
I walked up to the counter with a buffalo nickel
Am                                                 E
Was gonna give him half, but instead he charged me triple
             Am
He said it's twenty on the money What you're paying for it honey
       Dm
I said man you must be joking, he said go ahead and try me
         Am
Now he's lookin' at me funny
       E                          Am   
And my nickel's laying sunny side down

[Verse 2]
Am       
I hold out till I get myself a little bit corrected
Am                                           E
A hot collar isn't any way to get yourself respected
              Am
And though I aim to be emphatic there's an awful lot of static
              Dm
'Cause you've got a lot of heart, but your moves are enigmatic
              Am                          E             Am
And if you're acting too erratic it's my semi-automatic response

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah

E  E
Oh yeahh

[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
   You and I (workin' around each other)

[Verse 3]
Am
I got caught upset-looking like a little shadow
                                                    E
So mad 'cause I couldn't shake the noise out of the rattle
       Am
It was mean of me to say, but I meant it when I said
                  Dm
That I guess I'll do all the work and I guess you take all the credit
       Am
If you read well then you read it
              E                    Am
And I'll just be a dog and shed it alright

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Yeah

[Chorus]
Am Dm Am E x2
  You and I (workin' around each other)
E
