D E7 On a free ride home from the embassy A7 E7 A7 D I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands D E7 When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase A7 E7 A7 D And opened the windows wide CHORUS: (No chord until "save") F A7 If you could save yourself, you'd save us all D Bb Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door F A7 The time I've spent, working myself to death D Bb Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help F A7 To make it good again, to makes us strong Bb F To make you happy, to push you along A7 And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb Bb F I was on my knees when you knocked me down VERSE II: D The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out E7 The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth A7 E7 A7 D Your mother came calling but there was no one around D The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown E7 The vultures were circling when the circus left town A7 E7 A7 D I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink... CHORUS: F A7 If you could save yourself, you'd save us all D Bb Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door F A7 The time I've spent, working myself to death D Bb Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help F A7 To make it good again, to makes us strong Bb F To make you happy, to push you along A7 And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb Bb F I was on my knees when you knocked me down
