VERSE 1: (No guitar this verse!!)

My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "Man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

VERSE 2:
F
She sits on her ass
Bb
He works his hands to the bone
F                       C
To give her money every payday
F                                 Bb
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
F                   C       F
Well my friend, you gotta say

F                            Bb

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
F                              C
To keep her bill collectors at bay
F                              Bb
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
F                     C              F
Cause that girl's got expensive taste

CHORUS
