[Verse]
G Em
If I had a cigarette for every time a perfect stranger asked me for a cigarette
C G
then I'd have enough cigarettes to get me through the day.
G Em
And if I had some spare change every time a perfect stranger asked me for some spare change
C D
then I'd have enough spare change to take care of these bills I need to pay.
Em C D Em C Am
And dude I know that times are tough but that does not mean that you can have my stuff
G Em
So how about a ride? I can drive you to the shelter
C D
We can eat dinner at the Andre house and you can even take a shower
Em C D Am
Cause I think you deserve much more than a smoke and 50 cents
Em C D Am
You deserve to be self-sufficient and buy your own cigarettes
Em C D Am D
G D
Oh, when the saints, oh, when the saints, oh when the saints go marching in
G C G D G
They will feed you so much pizza that you'll forget about the rut that you are in
G C
Oh, when the saints, Oh, when the saints, oh when the saints come marching in
G D C
Well I'm sure they'll feel so much better with the illusion
D G
that they are helping out those sinners
C D G
when all they really do is buy those so called sinners shitty dinners
C D
Like 5 dollar Hot and Ready pizzas and high fructose corn syrup punch
G C
You diabetic and apathetic, wondering when they will bring you lunch
G C G D G
to the park they keep you in, when the saints go marching in
G Em
So I wish I had a cigarette for every time a perfect stranger asked me for a cigarette
C Cm G
but I wonder what a cigarette will really do to help that person out
G Em
I wish to God I had some spare change for every time a perfect stranger asked me for some spare change
C Cm G
but there's not enough spare change in the world to make such an empty gesture count.
