[Intro] F F C G F F C G F F C G F F C G [Verse 1]
  F               F
I watch my yellow cat

          C              G
Invade my red cat in the yard

           F                 F
The feline war has raged for years

       C                G
So I assume it'd be too hard

          F               F
For me to drive my foot between them

        C              G
I would never risk the scratch

        F               F
Just to prove to one or both of them

  C             G
A cat is just a cat

         F               F
Again, I watch my cousin greg

        C            G
Watch mtv inside his home

             F              F
He makes fun of the hip hop videos

         C              G
From the couch he rides alone

            F              F
Snug in the cushion of his cackling

      C               G
He forgets his living doubts

         F                F
He has relied on this for years

             C               G
You will not yank the carpet out
no, no [Chorus]
Am           G
These are my friends

        F             G
This is who they have been for always

Am           G
These are my days

        F        G
This is how they stay
hey, hey
F  F  C  G
hey hey

F  F  C  G

[Verse 2]
             F                     F
I watch this dude each night, same table

       C                 G
Who creates and crumples up

             F                 F
His eyes are wide from sipping endlessly

    C              G
His endless coffee cup

            F                  F
He feeds me quotes that lonely goat

            C          G
I watch him grazing by himself

           F                F
I will not stop him when he rambles

      C            G
I'm becoming one myself

       F                   F
Lou is bugged shot up with drugs

               C              G
He sweats this bird he hardly knows

            F               F
All that he wants is to see someone

      C                   G
He respects without their clothes

             F             F
So like some hybrid mother/lover

      C                   G
She'd soothe and heal his wounds

              F             F
And kiss them dying ears so softly

         C               G
That the reaper stops to swoon
Oh please [Chorus]
Am           G
These are my friends

        F             G
This is who they have been for always

Am           G

[Verse 3]
  F                   F
I watch my neighbor's son

              C              G
Play with his shotgun in the street

             F                 F
I think I'll blaze all day and marvel

       C              G
at the mass of food I eat

                  F                F
It's strange, I'm skinny when I'm standing

        C             G
But I'm buddha when I sit

           F          F
And if I'm truly so enlightened

        C                  G
Why'd I waste your time on it

          F                 F
As I look back at countless crossroads

        C              G
And the middle where I stay

             F              F
Right up the beaten path to boredom

          C                G
Where the fakest fucks get laid

            F                 F
By the faux-finest finds It's been that way

    C                 G
God damn you, how you stay

           F              F
With every scummy, crummy hour

       C              G
Of the scummy, crummy day
hey hey [Chorus]
Am           G
These are my friends

        F             G
This is who they have been for always

Am           G
These are my days

        F        G
This is how they stay

Am           G
These are my friends

        F          G
This is who they remain forever

Am      G
This is 

F      G
how we stay
