G G/F# C D
G G/F# C D
The older I am, the wiser I'm not
G G/F# C D
and I felt ashamed of how angry I got
G G/F# Em
when I was not getting my message across
D C
I know you can't stand me when that's how I talk
D C
when I summon a duel or when I brandish a thought
G G/F# Em
I was wrong to turn honesty against you
D C
and sure, some of them could use a good talk
G G/F# C D
but babe, don't tell all our friends about me
G G/F# C D
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me
I'll sleep on the couch if you want me to
or I can be a good dog and just sit with you
Do whatever it is that you ask me to do
'til you forgive me and I forgive you
I know you got the beating but I caught a feeeling
Frankly, I don't know what else I can confess to you
Lovers may quarrel and spar sometimes,
But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me
Break:
That I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up,
But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
You said you just needed some time to adjust
It's been 48 hours and 3 weeks and 2 months
and the hummingbirds hum, the workerbees buzz
You put too much confidence in the people you trust
Enemies or friends, they'll all tend to judge
and I'll write songs that'll help me deal with issues,
and sometimes people will hear too much
But babe, they don't tell all our friends about us
No, mostly they'll just start to blush
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me
Break:
That I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up
I know I fucked up,
But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
