Intro.: (E A)3x B7 F#m
E A
When she said
E A E
Don't waste your words they're just lies
A E A
I cried she was deaf
E A E A E
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
A E A
Then said What else you got left
B7
It was then that I got up to leave
F#m
But she said Don't forget
E A E
Everybody must give something back
A E A
For something they get
intro
E A
I stood there and hummed
E A E
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come
A E A
And she buttoned her boot
E A E A E
And straightened her suit
A E A
Then she said Don't get cute
F#m
So I forced my hands in my pockets
E A E
And felt with my thumbs
E A E
And gallantly handed her
A E A
My very last piece of gum
intro
E A
She threw me outside
E A E
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked
A E A
And after finding I'd
E A E A E
Forgotten my shirt
A E A
I went back and knocked
B7
I waited in the hallway she went to get it
F#m
And I tried to make sense
E A E
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
A E A
That leaned up against
intro
E A
Her Jamaican rum
E A E
And when she did come I asked her for some
A E A
She said No dear
E A E A E
I said Your words aren't clear
A E A
You'd better spit out your gum
B7
She screamed till her face got so red
F#m
Then she fell on the floor
E A E
And I covered her up and then
A E A
Thought I'd go look through her drawer
intro
E A
And when I was through
E A E
I filled up my shoe
A E A
And brought it to you
E A E A E
And you you took me in
A E A
You loved me then
B7
You didn't waste time
F#m
And I I never took much
E A E
I never asked for your crutch
A E A
Now don't ask for mine
