Damn Good Mates

G You're drivin' back home down route 56 D You almost hit a root and you end up in a ditch Em You can't pull forward and you can't back out C You're sittin' there thinkin' whatcha gonna do now G You'd be a little nervous if a cop showed up D 'Cause you drank a little maybe just a little too much Em Waitin' on a tow truck takes too long C It's two in the mornin'... who you gonna call G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em Half an hour later they're pullin' you out C You know the ones I'm talkin' about G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em You can count 'em all on one of your hands C You got a hundred friends G A couple of damn good Mates G So you're all shootin' pool on a Saturday night D This little brunette keeps givin' you the eye Em So you buy her a drink, before too long C You're out on the floor in the middle of a song G About that time her ex shows up D He's starin' you down gettin' all bowed up Em He's a big ol' jacked up S.O.B C That's alright he's about to meet your... G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em A few seconds later he's startin' to see C It ain't one on one... it's one on three G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em They do it for you 'cause you'd do it for them C You got a hundred friends G But a couple of damn good Mates G They're there even when you don't see 'em as much D Cause you moved away or you fell in love Em But they're wearin' a tux when you're sayin' your vows C And if you crash and burn you can crash on their couch G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em They love you like a brother there ain't no doubt C You know the ones I'm talkin' about G D Mates ... damn good Mates Em You can count 'em all on one of your hands C You got a hundred friends G And a couple of damn good Mates
