Happy Loving Couples

 GDm7
 I've just been to see my best friend
 GDm7
 he's got another girl
 GDm7
 says she's just about the best thing
 GDm7
 in the whole damn world

 CG
And he says can't you see what the little lady's done for me
 CBm
 says it like he thinks I'm blind
 CGD
but the things that you see ain't necessarily the things you can find

 CDG
 Happy loving couples make it look so easy
 CDG
 Happy loving couples make always talk so kind
 CDG
 until the time that I can do my dancing with a partner
 CDG
 those happy couples ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   

 GDm7
 People say I'm too damn fussy
 GDm7
 when it comes to girls
 GDm7
 happy couples say I must live
 GDm7
 in a lonely world

 CG
Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be
 CBm
 be it in my own good time
 CGD
being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind

Chorus

 D
 You ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
 You ain't no friends of mine

Repeated 12 times with voice-over
 GCD
   
You know what I mean
Happy loving couples
In matching lamb turtle-neck sweaters (?)
Reading Ideal Homes magazine
Yea!

 CG
Wanna be, wanna really be what my friends pretend to be
 CBm
 be it in my own good time
 CGD
being kind to myself till I become one of two of a kind

Chorus

 D
 You ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
 You ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
   
 GCD
 You ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   
 GCD
 You ain't no friends of mine
 GCD
   
 GCD
 You ain't no friends of mine

Abrupt stop, Joe saying "Right, that's enough"
