C     G                F                 D         
She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl.
C     G               F               D
She's my best friend understands me when I'm fallin'
 G     D     G   
down, down, down.
       C       F        G          D     G  
Oh it hurts to be that way, Down, down, down!

[verse]

       C        Am       D           G     
Oh it hurts to know the bad kind of fella,
 C                   D    F                          C  
here's to newspaper Joe...dropped his teeth on the floor. 
C                       D   
Caught his hand in the door,
F                              C
guess that's the way the news goes.

               D   F                  G    C  
If you want to see me, sorry but I'm not around.
               D  F     C     Am           
If you want to be me...turn around,
            G                Gsus4
I'm by the window where the light is. 

[refrain]

C     G              F              D
She's my best friend,better than a dog or car.
C     G               F               D
She's my best friend understands me when I'm fallin',
 G     D     G            C       F        G
down, down, down...Oh it hurts to be that way,
 G     D     G
Down, down, down...

C                     D
Somebody cut off her feet,
F                         C
Now jelly rolls in the street!
