A 
You don't have to keep me on no chain 
                                            E 
I come running when I hear you call my name 

I must not be too hard to train 
                        A 
Took you no time at all 

A 

A 
You don't really like none of my friends 
                                          E 
You never really know just where I've been 

When I slip up on your porch at 4AM 
                     A 
Like an old stray dog 


 

        E 
You scratch me and you pet me 
        D 
And you fight me 
      A 
And even let me win 
A 
Now and then 
    E 
You scold me you tease me 
         D 
Then you hold me  
        A 
And tell me I'm your friend 
E 
A 
    Making love to you babe 
         D 
Ain't so hard 
         A 
You treat me like a 
E           A 
Dog in the yard 

A 
Sometimes you kick at me when I'm down 
                                          E 
It drives you crazy when I just lay around 

No matter what you do I think I've found 
           A 
The perfect home 

Chorus 

A             A 
Aww You treat me like a 
E           A 
Dog in the yard
