Mailman came while you were out
C#m D
I was sleeping at your house
E C#m D
Letter from your lover with an Ottawa address
E
Filled the shower up with steam
C#m D
Find out what you mean to him
E
Before I hand it over
C#m A
I'll push the flap back down and press
B C F# A
Yes, I'll leave everything the way I found it

I'll bet I'm the best houseguest

Houseguest you ever had

I never leave my socks around
G#m A
I always keep the TV down
F#m x2 F x2 E C#m A A
And when I leave, I never leave a mess
We were resting on the couch
There was nothing much to watch
Other than my manners
And your waning graciousness
I eased your thumb off the remote
Placed my palms against your throats
The heat in here's infernal
And so's that entry in your journal
Yeah, it changed everything the day I found it
I bet I'm the best houseguest
Houseguest you ever had

I'll bet I'm the best houseguest

It's just a tendency I have when certain people

Refuse me love
