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         E4          E
Everybody must give something back
    E4           E  E4  E  E4 
For something they get”

  E A               E
I-I stood there and hummed
  A             E        A              E  E4  E  E4 
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         E4
And gallantly handed her
   E    E4         E  E4  E  E4 
My very last piece of gum

    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  E4  E  E4 
That leaned up against . . .

   E  A        E
He-er Jamaican rum
    A            E       A              E    E4    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              E4             E  E4  E  E4 
Thought I’d go look through her drawer

  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  E4  E  E4 
Now don’t ask for mine
