[E]
All right, what can I say?
[N]
I wrote this song [E] called My Friend the Devil with a guy named Dan Wilson, who's a wonderful
songwriter and we wrote it for someone else and it was so biographical that I was like,
she can't have it.
Well, actually, I think I said, well, she can try to record it, but they'll [F#] never let
her because it's too quirky and specific.
[E] But it's just sort of about how like if you get into trouble, the last person you want
to call to get you out of it is a goody goody because they're going to leave you wherever
the trouble is that tell you that you need to learn your lesson and like you want to
call the bad kid because they know what it means to be human.
