D                             G
I don't wanna fight about it, we've been friends too long
A                          G     A           D
Someone ought to tell you, buddy you've been wrong
    D                            G
You know that I stepped aside so you and she could wed
E7                                  A
You've spent half your married life in someone else's bed
D                                      G
Just tell her that you met someone you used to know before
D                 A                  D
Give her my best, you never gave her yours



There's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know
You two people made your choice a long long time ago
I'm not bitter it just hurts when someone lets you down
I just feel she ought to know that I am still around
She might need to talk to me and that's what friends are for
Give her my best you never gave her yours


Key change to D#
  D#                         G#
I wonder if you know the way I feel about her now
A#                                         G#       A#       D#
You're like the dog that sleeps on hay and keeps it from the cow
D#                                  G#
She's not mine but if she were, she wouldn't be alone
E7#                                       A#
For what it's worth she's worth more love than you have ever shown
D#                                  G#
You've got my word I wouldn't know what happens behind your door
D#                A#                 D#
Give her my best, you never gave her yours
