Make yourself at home, 'cause I'm going out, Across the street to get us some water
C E F G
'cause this water's brown, and I'm so embarrassed To have you here but I want you around
C E F G
Usually I'd sing, or play you my guitar, But I know it won't get very far with you
C E F G
'cause you like music that makes you move, And mine has a groove, but it's nothing I can prove
F C F C F C F
Please know what I mean When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing,

Things that I buy and things that I think, Haven't made this a better place to be
C E F G
Drugs that I try and drinks that I drink, Haven't made this a better place to be
C E F G
It's still just a room with the drums in the middle, A couch along the wall that works as my bed
C E F G
I still have a phone that rings all day, I still have things I wish I would of said
F C F C F C F
Please know what I mean When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing,

My new place seems strange to me, It breaks my heart, do you know what that means
