 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 YOU'VE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME SO FAR
 I was doin'  all the things which I used to hate the worst
 I was listenin' to Joni Mitchell and I was tucking in my shirt
 I smiled  like a puppy dog who's scratching all his fleas
 And it  dried down to the bone and it wouldn't even hurt
 There's times  that I remember yeah and there's the things that I forget
 Like the colour of your eyes and the time that we first met
 But I always  take the time out and it's a hurtin' more and more
 To feel my heart  jump out of my chest when I'm knocking at your door
 For a big  old dog he sure acts like a cat
 The more you  wanna play the more he'll scratch back
Oh,  oh oh oh
 As sweet  as you've been it just don't add up
 And I'm drinking  sweet bubbles from a paper cup
 I know who  you and you've  been so good to me so far
Forgot  my girlfriend's not even washed her hair
 And I did all that couple stuff and I pretended that I cared
 And I smiled  like a twelve year old who wanted to stay 'round
 After all  the after dinner drinks had been put down
Eight  is enough but nine's too much
 Your real  love for me's like an interstate truck
 Oh no,  oh oh no
 If I've  been such a lightweight
 Why can't  I just be blown away from
Who  you are and you've  been so good to me so far
You  can call and I won't cry I just can't find the reason why
 I know  who you are and you've  been so good to me so far
 VERSE CHORDS)
 I've been doing  all those things which I never did at all
 And you sure would laugh if you hear the crap I talk
 But I never  saw it coming I just couldn't see that morning rain
 That soiled  all that clothes that I left hanging out again
You  can call and I won't cry I just can't find the reason why
 I know  who you are and you've  been so good to me so  far
You  can call and I won't cry I just don't know the reason why
 I know  who you are and you've  been so good to me so far
You've  been so good to me so far
You've  been so good to me so far
