Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][F#m][Em]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
When she said,
"Don't waste your [G]words, they're [D]just lies"

[Verse 2]
[D]I cried she was deaf
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
And she worked on my face
until break[G]ing [D]my eyes

[Verse 4]
And [D]what else you got left

[Verse 5]
[D]
It was [F#m]then that I got up to leave

[Verse 6]
But she [F#m]said, "Don't forget
[Em]

[Verse 7]
Every[D]body must
give something back

[Verse 8]
For [D]something they get"

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 9]
[D]I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum

[Verse 10]
I [D]asked her how come

[Verse 11]
[D]
And she buttoned her boot and
[G]straightene[D] d her suit

[Verse 12]
Then she [D]said, "Don't get cute"

[Verse 13]
[D]
So, [F#m]I forced my hands in my pockets

[Verse 14]
And [F#m]felt with m[Em]y thumbs

[Verse 15]
[Em]
And [D]gallantly [G]handed [D]her

[Verse 16]
My very [G]last piece [D]of gum

[Verse 17]
[D]
She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt

[Verse 18]
Where [G]everyone [D]walked

[Verse 19]
[D]And after finding that I forgotten my shirt

[Verse 20]
I [D]went back and knocked

[Verse 21]
[D]
[F#m]I waited in the hallway,
she went to get it

[Verse 22]
And I [F#m]tried to make sense
[Em]

[Verse 23]
[Em]Out of that [D]picture of you
in your wheelchair

[Verse 24]
That [G]leaned [D]up against

[Interlude 3]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 25]
[D]Her Jamaican rum and when she did come

[Verse 26]
I [D]asked her for some
[G][D]

[Verse 27]
[G]
[D]She said, "No, dear", I said,
"Your [G]words aren't [D]clear

[Verse 28]
You'd better [D]spit out your gum"

[Verse 29]
[D]
[F#m]She screamed till her face got so red

[Verse 30]
Then she [F#m]fell on the floor
[Em]

[Verse 31]
And I [D]covered her up and then

[Verse 32]
[D]Thought I'd go [G]look through
her [D]drawer
[G][D]

[Verse 33]
[D]And when I was through I filled up my shoe

[Verse 34]
And [D]brought it to you
[G][D]

[Verse 35]
And you, you took me in,
you [G]loved me [D]then

[Verse 36]
You [D]never wasted time

[Verse 37]
[D]
And I, I never took much

[Verse 38]
I never [D]asked [G]for [D]your crutch

[Verse 39]
Now, [D]don't ask for mine

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][F#m][Em]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D]
