I'm not ashamed to say that I've loved you well
I'm not shamed to let you know
I'm just a name that's all, scratched upon your wall
You used it well but what the hell
That's what walls are for
I'm not ashamed to listen to the fast falling rain
In the morning upon my win dow
I'm not afraid to cry, I'm not ashamed to try
To be your friend once again
That's what's friends are for
Friends are for sorting out the hangups that we hide
Walls are for shutting out the love we feel in side
I'm not ashamed, no, to talk it over once again
To re arrange my vocabu lary
But I can't seem to find, any words to change your mind
Because I left them all behind
And that's what words are for
Words are Em for Am explaining the D mistakes we might have G made
Names are Em for Am calling when there's D nothing left to G say F
C I'm not ashamed, G7 no, to say I've C loved Em you Am well
I'm not shamed, and yet I know
I'm C just a name that's Am all, C scratched upon your Am wall
You used it Dm well but what the G7 hell
That's what walls are C for
C I'm not ashamed of G7 wearing out my C old Em grey Am socks
Chasing D you around the G back F woods
I'm C not ashamed to Am darn nor to C proud to find some Am yarn
To sew them Dm up once G7 again
'Cause that's what socks are C for
