Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
D 
C 
 (E minor) Well,  (D major)  (C major) 
she said,
don't waste your words,
they're just lies
I cried, she was dead
Well, she worked on my face
Until breaking my eyes
Said, what else you got left?
Em 
It was  (E minor) then that I got up to leave
But she said, don't forget
D 
Dm 
F 
C 
 (D major)  (D minor)  (F major) Everybody  (C major) must
give something back
for something they get
I
I stood there and hummed
Tapped on her drum
I asked her how come
And she buttoned her boot
Straightened her suit
I said, don't get key.
Em 
Well, I  (E minor) forced my hand in my pocket,
D 
fell in my thum (D major) b.
C 
That's  (C major) when I gallantly handed my mother
the last piece of gum.
She threw me outside.
I stood in the dirt
where everyone watched
And after finding out
I'd forgotten my shirt
I went back and knocked
Em 
I waited  (E minor) in the hallway when she got in
D 
I tried to make sense  (D major) 
C 
Out of  (C major) that picture of you in your wheelchair,
I leaned up against the Jamaican rum
When she did come, I asked her for some
And then she said, no dear,
I said your words aren't clear,
you better spit out your gun.
Em 
She  (E minor) screamed and her face got so red,
D 
she fell on the  (D major) floor.
C 
 (C major) When I'm killin',
thought I'd go look through her drawer
And when I was through,
filled up my shoe,
brought it to you
And you, you took me in,
you loved me then,
you never wasted time
And I never took much,
never asked for your crutch,
don't ask for mine
