Houseguest chords by The Mountain Goats

E
Mailman came while you were out
D
I was sleeping at your house
D
Letter from your lover with an Ottawa address

E
Filled the shower up with steam
D
Find out what you mean to him
E
Before I hand it over
        A
I'll push the flap back down and press
   A
Yes, I'll leave everything the way I found it

         E
I'll bet I'm the best houseguest
E
Houseguest you ever had
         E
I'll bet I'm the best houseguest
G#m
Houseguest you ever had
A
I never leave my socks around
A
I always keep the TV down
        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
         E
I'll bet I'm the best houseguest
G#m
Houseguest you ever had
   B
I've done things in your room
          C#m7
You'd be ashamed to accuse me of
       B
It's just a tendency I have when certain people
C
Refuse me love
C
Refuse me love
C
Refuse me love
G
You refuse
F#
I accuse

A
