Manchester Orchestra – I’ve Got Friends

(Album: Mean Everything to Nothing (2009))

[tuned down half step]

[E]

Dirt in the ground is what I need
I got another one to tell you
and another one to make you believe {Am}

[E]

pity in the grass tried to be
the one you needed when I told you
that you wanted something bigger than me {Am}
[C]  I’ve got friends in all the right places
I know what they want & I know they don’t want me to stay [G] {x2}

‘Cause you are not alive [Am], When I need you [C],
I need it quickly [E], In case you never know [C,  Am,  E…]

[E] I can’t play where I’m not supposed to [Am] anyway

[E]

Dirt in the ground is what I see
I need another reason why
I need another reason, tell me to breathe {Am}

[E]

the dirtier the sound, the best I breathe
I tried to do it all for you
it didn’t do anything for me {Am}
[chorus]

& you and I will find [Am], that when I need you [C],
I need it quickly [E], in fact, you’ll never know [C,  Am,  E…]

[chorus]
