Intro:
| E | A | E | A |
| G#m | % | % | % |
| F#m | % | % | % |
| E | A | E | A |
| E | A | E | A |


Verse 1:
E    A               E          A                   E
When she said “Don’t waste your words, they’re just lies”
  A             |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
I cried she was deaf
E       A            E          A           E
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
                 A           |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
Then said, “What else you got left?”
       G#m
It was then that I got up to leave
                     |  F#m  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
But she said, “Don’t forget
     E         Esus4          E
Everybody must give something back
    Esus4          | E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
For something they get”


Verse 2:
  E A               E
I-I stood there and hummed
  A             E        A             | E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come
    E   A            E
And she buttoned her boot
    A                E
And straightened her suit
    A                |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
And said, “Don’t get cute”
     G#m
So I forced my hands in my pockets
                |  F#m  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
And felt with my thumbs
    E         Esus4
And gallantly handed her
   E    Esus4        | E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
My very last piece of gum


Verse 3:
    E A           E
She-e threw me outside
  A            E          A        |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
I stood in the dirt where ev’ryone walked
E   A                  E
And after finding that I’d
   A         E
Forgotten my shirt
  A              |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
I went back and knocked
  G#m
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 | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
That leaned up against . . .


Verse 4:
   E  A        E
He-er Jamaican rum
    A            E       A            |  E  |  Esus4  |  E  |  %  |
And when she did come, I asked her for some
E   A          E
She said, “No, dear”
         A                 E
I said, “Your words aren’t clear
             A            |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
You’d better spit out your gum”
    G#m
She screamed till her face got so red
                    |  F#m  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
Then she fell on the floor
      E           A
And I covered her up and then
E              Esus4            | E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
Thought I’d go look through her drawer


Verse 5:
  E   A          E
A-and when I was through
  A            E
I filled up my shoe
    A            |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
And brought it to you
    E    A           E
And you, you took me in
    A        E
You loved me then
    A          |  E  |  %  |  %  |  %  |
You didn’t waste time
    E    A          E
And I, I never took much
E       A              E
I never asked for your crutch
    A             | E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
Now don’t ask for mine
