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

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

Please know what I mean When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing, When I say-ay nothing,
         G
 When I say

Things that I buy and things that I think, Haven't made this a better place to be

It's still just a room with the drums in the middle, A couch along the wall that works as my bed

I still have a phone that rings all day, I still have things I wish I would of said
