Verse 1:

   E7#9     A7
My friends,
                          E7#9   A7
Feel it's their appointed duty,
                    E7#9    A7
They keep trying to tell me,
                      E7#9   A7
All you want to do is use me.
       E7#9   A7
But my answer,
                        E7#9   A7
Yeah to all that use me stuff,

Bridge 1:

   E7#9 (n.c)
Is I wanna spread the news,
That if it feels this good getting used,
Oh you just keep on using me,
Until you use me up,
                 E7#9  A7, E7#9  A7
Until you use me up.

Verse 2:

   E7#9    A7
My brother,
Sit me right down,
       E7#9         A7
And he talked to me.
   E7#9    A7
He told me,
That I ought not to let you,
     E7#9       A7
Just walk on me.
                E7#9       A7
And I'm sure he meant well,
                           E7#9     A7
Yeah but when our talk was through,

Bridge 2:

       E7#9 (n.c)
I said brother if you only knew,
You'd wish that you were in my shoes,
You just keep on using me,
Until you use me up,
                 E7#9  A7, E7#9  A7
Until you use me up.

   E7#9           A7
Oh sometimes yeah,
                          E7#9    A7
It's true you really do a-buse me,
    E7#9                                   A7
You get me in a crowd of high class people,
                      E7#9       A7
And then you act real rude to me,
       E7#9             A7
But oh baby baby ba-by,
                        E7#9        A7
Baby when you love me I can't get e-nough.

Until you use me up.

E7#9
 Talking about you using me,
       A7
But it all depends on what you do,
E7#9
 It ain't too bad the way you're using me,
        A7
Cause I sure am using you,
                     E7#9  A7
To do the things you do,
                           E7#9  A7
Ah ha to do the things you do.
