F Gm I'm feelin' so good right now D# A# Gm7 F There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past Gm He buys me a brandy D# A# Gm7 F Or could it be he's really just after my ass? Gm He likes the clothes I wear D# A# Gm7 F He says he likes a man to dress in season Gm D# A# But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind Gm7 C What's the reason? Chorus: C G Am F How many friends have I really got? G You can count 'em on one hand C G Am F G How many friends have I really got? C G Am F How many friends have I really got? A# F A# F That love me, that want me, A# F/A Gm Gm7 C that'll take me as I am? Suddenly it's a silver screen And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out Everybody hears me Well, I look like a fool, now, if I try and I shy out She knows all of my friends But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late But now I think I've reached the end I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate? Chorus Cm Cm/A# It's all like a dream you know A# F When you're still up early in the morning Gm F D# And you all sit together to watch the sun come through Cm Cm/A# But things don't look so good G# When you could use a bit of warning Fm Then you know that no one will ever C/G G speak the truth about you. Chorus When I first signed the contract, it was more than a handshake then I know it still is, but there's a plain fact We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies People know nothing about their own soft guts So how come they can sum us up Without suffering all the hype we've known How come they bum us up Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  C  Cm  C D#  F  Fm  F G  Gm  G#  Gm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
