[Verse 1]
C        G        Am        F
Worked away, I worked night and day
    C          G      Am         F
To keep that gal in shoes
        C        E      Am      F
I came home too soon, looked in our room
         C        G        C              G  
And got hit with real bad news, I tell ya
     C               G       Am          F
She played me really bad, she took all I had
C         G             Am        F
Threw me right on the street
           C    E   Am            F
I left everything, except my 6-string
                   C       G     C      G  C
And a hope it's my friend I'll meet

[Verse 2]
         C          G             Am       F
Well, I took my 6-string and a bottle of scotch
        C      G         Am      F
'Cause my gal done the same
    C      E             Am              F
I made my way straight into my favorite bar
           C             G        C     G  C
'Cause I'm free now to play the game
   C         G         Am       F
I sat right down, my pain to drown
   C                 G         Am     F
With whiskey and a couple of beers
   C       E               Am          F
I looked around, 'cause I heard your sound
          C            G              C    G  C
It's my friend who's standing right here

[Chorus]
        C        E            Am         F
Let's grab that beer, let's shoot that pool
        C        E           Am         F
I ain't done it for so long
       C      E            Am           F
Let's hit the club, let's play it cool
         C        G          C        G  C
What could possibly go wrong?
         C        E          Am     F
I got nothing elste to lose my friend
C       E      Am     F
Nothing but a song
        C              E       Am      F
I got nothing but my 6-string and my friend
     C         G           C         G  C
So what could possibly go wrong?

[Verse 3]
     C        G            Am         F
The hours passed and the drinks were fast
     C       G      Am   F
The whiskey and the rye
     C      E                       Am        F
The tunes were on, they played our favorite songs
      C      G        C       G  C
And then she caught my eye
     C       G          Am         F
I went right there and kissed her hair
     C         G     Am   F
And picked me up a slap
     C          E         Am        F
But one smile more, one half broke jaw
     C      G      C    G  C
And she was on my lap

[Chorus]
     C         E        Am       F
We got nothing else to lose my friend
   C      E     Am    F
Nothing but a song
         C              E        Am      F
We got nothing but our 6-strings and a friend
   C       E            C      G  C
What could possibly go wrong?

[verse 4]
      C        G       Am     F
God smiled on us, she ain't alone
      C        G       Am     F
Her friend is looking fine
         C          E      Am     F
She floated over straight to my side
      C       G      C    G  C
And offered me her time
     C       G       Am     F
I can't say no to such a gal
             C        G     Am     F
'Cause she looked so hot to me (Oh yes)
        C           E               Am       F
Well I leaned right in, then she slapped my chin
        C        G      C     G  C
But then made it up to me

[Chorus]
           C      E     Am       F
We got nothing else to lose my friend
 C       E     Am    F
Nothing but a song
        C               E        Am   F
We got nothing but our 6-strings my friend
     C          E          C
So what could possibly go wrong?

[Bridge]
         C               G               Am     F
Well it looked like the night would end up all right
          C          G            Am     F
But lemme tell you, you never can tell
       C             E           Am      F
Two fellas swaggered in right out of the shade
                     C       G     C
And they started to rain on our parade
      Am                   F
A shitload of money they spent
             Am       F
And out the door they went
         C              G         Am         F
With the gals by their hands, destroying our plans
      C        G         Am     F
Drove off the bar with a shiny car
         D                             G
But who cares I'm still here with my friend, oh yeah - so

[Chorus]
        C        E            Am       F
Let's grab that beer, let's shoot that pool
         C      E      Am     F
I ain't done it for so long
       C         E        Am      F
Let's hit the club, let's play it cool
 C           E          C       G  C
What could possibly go wrong?
       C                E    Am  F
I got nothing elste to lose my friend
C       E    Am     F
Nothing but a song
       C              E        Am     F
I got nothing but my 6-string and my friend
    C          G          C
So what could possibly go wrong?
