Positively 4th Street

D         Em
You got a lotta nerve
   G              D
To say you are my friend
           A
When I was down
G        Bm          A
You just stood there grinning

D         Em
You got a lotta nerve
   G                             D
To say you got a helping hand to lend
                    G
You just want to be on
    Bm          A
The side that's winning

[Verse 2]

D         Em
You say I let you down
    G                  D
You know it's not like that
             A
If you're so hurt
G        Bm        A
Why then don't you show it

D           Em
You say you lost your faith
    G                     D
But that's not where it's at
            G        Bm
You have no faith to lose
        A
And you know it

[Verse 3]

D          Em
I know the reason
         G              D
That you talk behind my back
       A      G        Bm
I used to be among the crowd
       A
You're in with

D                  Em
Do you take me for such a fool
   G                 D
To think I'd make contact
                 G        Bm
With the one who tries to hide
                        A
What he don't know to begin with

[Verse 4]

D          Em
You see me on the street
    G             D
You always act surprised
          A                   G
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
    Bm        A
But you don't mean it

D                Em
When you know as well as me
             G          D
You'd rather see me paralyzed
                   G        Bm
Why don't you just come out once
    A
And scream it

[Verse 5]

D            Em
No, I do not feel that good
               G                 D
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
                  A
If I was a master thief

   Bm       A
Perhaps I'd rob them

D                        Em
And now I know you're dissatisfied
          G                 D
With your position and your place
               G
Don't you understand
     Bm     A
It's not my problem

[Verse 6]

D               Em
I wish that for just one time
G                         D
You could stand inside my shoes
                      A
And just for that one moment
Bm      A
I could be you

D                    Em
Yes, I wish that for just one time
G                         D
You could stand inside my shoes
                  G       Bm
You'd know what a drag it is
   A
To see you
