[Intro] Riff1 E Riff1 E Riff1 [Verse 1]
E             E7     A       Am       E               E7 A D Dsus4 D
I run the God damned pretzel store at Buckingham Mall

E                E7     A           Am   E                 E7 A D Dsus4 D
Here on the east wing's second floor I'm belle of the ball

C                    B7
But at night I could swear that I'm someone else

Am            B7       Riff1
Someone who's better
[Chorus]
E           G#       C#m     E7     
Why does no one come here to save me?

A7           B7         E A B7
Why won't anybody stay?

      E           G#    C#m       E7    A7           B7   Riff1
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her
[Fill] E Riff1 [Verse 2]
E           E7       A     Am          E                E7 A D Dsus4 D
Six hundred dollars, seven days, and I drink all I make

E                 E7        A     Am       E                  E7 A D Dsus4 D
While people with great big fat BA's, they move and they shake

C                   B7
I can't dress me up, I can't take me out

Am          B7
I can't do nothing
[Chorus]
E           G#       C#m     E7     
Why does no one come here to save me?

A7           B7         E A B7
Why won't anybody stay?

      E           G#    C#m       E7    A7           B7  
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her
[Break]
A7             B7         A7 B7
You don't come by no more

A7        B7        A7             B7
You never wear that sweater I like

A7            B7      A7             B7
You don't say nothing makes me think I'll ever get out of here
[Solo] E G# C#m C B E G# C#m A E G# C#m C B E G# C#m A [Fill] E Riff1 [Verse 3]
E          E7       A    Am             E              E7 A D Dsus4 D
Six in the morning, I'm awake, and it's nobody's fault

E              E7       A          Am        E              E7 A D Dsus4 D 
I knot them up tightly, watch them bake, and rub in the salt

C                   B7
Somewhere there's a hell that was meant for me

Am            B7
And I think I found it
[Chorus]
E           G#       C#m     E7     
Why does no one come here to save me?

A7           B7         E A B7
Why won't anybody stay?

      E           G#    C#m       E7    A7           B7   A7 B7
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her 

A7           B7
you could be her
