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