Take It Like a Friend Creedence Clearwater Revival

[Verse 1]
If maybe you'd move over
Gave someone else a chance to try their luck
Instead, you run up close
Trying to grab a page before they close the book

[Chorus]
It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began
Hope you take it like a friend
It's a shame to see you crying wouldn't think to way back when
Looks like I'll never hear the end

[Verse 2]
Thought you had the honor
Took special pride in all your well laid plans
Forgot about the others
We moved out the ward the light showing empty hands

[Chorus]
It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began
Hope you take it like a friend
It's a shame to see you crying wouldn't think to way back when
Looks like I'll never hear the end

[Bridge]
Ah, put the boot down! Mm-hm!
