If You Could Save Yourself Youd Save Us All by Ween
Key:DD| Capo:0fr|
DE7
On a free ride home from the embassy
A7E7A7D
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands
DE7
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
A7E7A7D
And opened the windows wide
Chorus: (No chord until "save")
FA7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
DA#
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
FA7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
DA#
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
FA7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
A#F
To make you happy, to push you along
A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
A#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
A7E7A7D
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
A7E7A7D
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...
Chorus:
FA7
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
DA#
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door
FA7
The time I've spent, working myself to death
DA#
Thought that's what you wanted, I thought you needed my help
FA7
To make it good again, to makes us strong
A#F
To make you happy, to push you along
A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
A#F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
