Verse 1:
My [E7#9]friends,[A7]
Feel it's their appointed [E7#9]duty.[A7]
They keep trying to [E7#9]tell me;[A7]
All you want to do is [E7#9]use me.[A7]
But my [E7#9]answer,[A7]
Yeah, to all that use me [E7#9]stuff,[A7]
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:
My [E7#9]brother,[A7]
Sit me right down, and he [E7#9]talked to me.[A7]
He [E7#9]told me;[A7]
That I ought not to let you just [E7#9]walk on me.[A7]
And I'm sure he [E7#9]meant well,[A7]
Yeah, but when our talk was [E7#9]through;[A7]
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.

Verse 3:
Oh, [E7#9]sometimes, yeah,[A7]
It's true; you really do a-[E7#9]buse me.[A7]
You [E7#9]get me in a crowd of high class people,[A7]
And then you act real [E7#9]rude to me.[A7]
But, oh [E7#9]baby, baby, ba-by,[A7]
Baby, when you love me, I [E7#9]can't get e-[A7]nough.

[E7#9] Talking about you using me,
But it [A7]all depends on what you do.
[E7#9] It ain't too bad, the way you're using me,

Ah ha, to do the things you [E7#9]do.[A7]
