C Am Em F
She's an unwelcome shudder on the worst of her days
Am C F C
And despite the bad moods, she won't go away

And she won't freeze or burn anyone
C Am Em F
On most days she drives me home, out of her way
Am C F C
And when I say "Drive safe" I mean it, today
C Am Em F
Cause I'm a tough luck friend
Am Em F
I'll reckon she'll stay with me, til the end
Em F C
And it means more than I pretend

Her car's like a sauna made mostly of smoke
Am C F C
And it glides back to hers, most late nights like a ghost

And nothing is said unless it needs to be

I'll watch a movie, she'll fall asleep
C Am Em F
She's one of those who when you're talking, you'll see

And I know I'm awful, I can't even cry
