🎶 Fourth Time Around

Intro:
[D] [Bbm] 3x
[B7] [Ab]
====

[D]When [Bbm]she said,
"Don't [D]waste your [Bbm]words, they're [D]just lies, "
[Bbm]I cried And [D]she [D]she was [Bbm]deaf.
[Bbm]worked on my [D]face until [Bbm]breaking my [D]eyes,
Then said, [Bbm]"What else you got [D]left?" [Bbm]
It was [B7]then that I got up to leave
But she said, "Don't [Ab]forget,
[D]Everybody must [Bbm]give something [D]back
For [Bbm]something they [D]get." [Bbm]

intro
[D]I stood there and [Bbm]hummed,
I [D]tapped on her drum and [Bbm]asked her how [D]come.
[Bbm]And she [D]buttoned her [Bbm]boot,
[D]And [Bbm]straightened [D]her [Bbm] [D]suit,
[Bbm]Then she [D]said, "Don't [Bbm]get cute."
So I forced my hands in my [Ab]pockets
[D]And felt with [Bbm]my [D]thumbs,
[D]And [Bbm]gallantly handed [D]her
[Bbm]My very last [D]piece of [Bbm]gum.

intro
[D]She threw me [Bbm]outside,
I stood [D]in the dirt where [Bbm]ev'ryone [D]walked.
[Bbm]And after [D]finding [Bbm]I'd
[D] [Bbm]Forgotten my [D]shirt, [Bbm] [D]
[Bbm]I went back [D]and [Bbm]knocked.
I [B7]waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And I tried to make [Ab]sense
[D]Out of that [Bbm]picture of you in your [D]wheelchair
[Bbm]That leaned up [D] [Bbm]against...

intro
[D]Her Jamaican [Bbm]rum
And [D]when she did come, [Bbm]I asked her for [D]some.
[Bbm]She said, [D]"No, [Bbm]dear."
[D]I said, [Bbm]"Your words [D]aren't [Bbm]clear, [D]
[Bbm]You'd better spit [D]out your [Bbm]gum."
She [B7]screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the [Ab]floor,
[D]And I covered [Bbm]her up and [D]then
[Bbm]Thought I'd go look [D]through her [Bbm]drawer.

intro
[D]And, when I was [Bbm]through
[D]I [Bbm]filled up my [D]shoe
[Bbm]And brought [D]it to [Bbm]you.
[D]And [Bbm]you, [D]you [Bbm]took me in, [D]
[Bbm]You loved [D]me then [Bbm]
You [B7]didn't waste time.
And I, I never took [Ab]much,
[D]I never asked [Bbm]for your [D]crutch.
[Bbm]Now don't [D]ask for [Bbm]mine.⠀⠀
