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?"

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.

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."

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

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.
