[Intro 1]
[C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well,[D][C]
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?
It was [Em]then that I got up to leave
But she said, don't forget
[D]Eve[Dm]rybod[F]y must[C]
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.
Well, I [Em]forced my hand in my pocket,
fell in my thum[D]b.
That's [C]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
I [Em]waited in the hallway when she got in
I tried to [D]make sense
Out of [C]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.
She [Em]screamed and her face got so red,
she fell on the [D]floor.
[C]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

[Outro 1]
Thank you so much.
