Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You  got  a  lotta  nerve
To  say  you  are  my  friend
When  I was  down
You just  stood  there  grinning
You got a  lotta  nerve
To  say  you  gota helping  hand  to lend
You just  want  to be on
The side  that's winning
You say I  let  you down
 You know  it's  not  like that
 If  you're  so hurt
Why then  don't  you  show it
You say you  lost  your faith
But  that's not where  it's at
You had no  faith  to lose
 And  you  know it
I  know  the  reason
That  you talk behind  my back
I  used  to be  among  the crowd
You're  in  with
Do  you  take  me  for such a fool
To  think  I'd  make contact
With  the  one who  tries to hide
What  he don't  know  to begin with
You  see  me  on the  street
 You  always act  surprised
You  say,  "How  are  you?" "Good luck"
But  you  don't  mean  it
Y  ou've  got a  lot of nerve  to say you are my friend
When  you  know as  well  as me
You'd  rather  see  me paralyzed
Why don't  you  just  come out once
And scream  it
No,  I do  not feel  that  good
When  I see  the  heartbreaks  you embrace
If  I was  a master  thief
Perhaps  I'd rob  them
And  now  I know  you're  dissatisfied
With  your  position  and  your place
Don't  you  understand
It's  not  my problem
I  wish that  for  just one  time
You  could  stand  inside  my shoes
And  just  for that  one  moment
I  could  be you
Yes,  I wish  that  for just  one  time
You  could  stand  inside my  shoes
You'd  know  what  a drag  it is
To  see you
 ENJOY!
