Chords

From the album "Quebec" [Intro] F Am D Bb [Verse 1]
D                            C
On a free ride home from the embassy

          A                 E      C       D
I saw the governor, and his lover, holding hands

D                         C
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase

    A          E   C   D
And opened the windows wide
[Chorus]
             F                            Am
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                                  Am
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

    Am           F                      A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb

            Bb                        F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
[Verse 2]
D
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out

    C
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth

     A                       E         C      D
Your mother came calling but there was no one around

D
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown

    C
The vultures were circling when the circus left town

  A                     E           C            D
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink...
[Chorus]
             F                            Am
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                                  Am
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

    Am           F                      A7
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb

            Bb                        F
I was on my knees when you knocked me down
[Outro] F A7 Bb Bb F
