Intro
(A A)3x E7 Bm
A D
When she said,
A D A
"Don't waste your words, they're just lies,"
D A D
I cried she was deaf.
A D A D A
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes,
D A D
Then said, "What else you got left?"
E7
It was then that I got up to leave
Bm
But she said, "Don't forget,
A D A
Everybody must give something back
D A D
For something they get."
intro
A D
I stood there and hummed,
A D A
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
D A D
And she buttoned her boot,
A D A D A
And straightened her suit,
D A D
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
Bm
So I forced my hands in my pockets
A D A
And felt with my thumbs,
A D A
And gallantly handed her
D A D
My very last piece of gum.
intro
A D
She threw me outside,
A D A
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
D A D
And after finding I'd
A D A D A
Forgotten my shirt,
D A D
I went back and knocked.
E7
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
Bm
And I tried to make sense
A D A
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
D A D
That leaned up against . . .
intro
A D
Her Jamaican rum
A D A
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
D A D
She said, "No, dear."
A D A D A
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
D A D
You'd better spit out your gum."
E7
She screamed till her face got so red
Bm
Then she fell on the floor,
A D A
And I covered her up and then
D A D
Thought I'd go look through her drawer.
intro
A D
And, when I was through
A D A
I filled up my shoe
D A D
And brought it to you.
A D A D A
And you, you took me in,
D A D
You loved me then
E7
You didn't waste time.
Bm
And I, I never took much,
A D A
I never asked for your crutch.
D A D
Now don't ask for mine.
Enjoy!
