Bb is that why you're knocking on my door? F the time i've spent Am working myself to death D thought that's what you wanted Bb i thought you needed my help F to make it good again A7 to make us strong Bb to make you happy F to push you along Am Am Am F and gain some respect A7 to be be thrown a crumb Bb i was on my kness F when you knocked me down The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth Your mother came calling but there was no one around The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown The vultures were circling when the circus left town I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink If you could save yourself, you'd save us all Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door? The time I've spent, working myself to death Thought that's what you wanted I thought you needed my help To make it good again, to make us strong To make you happy, to push you along And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb I was on my knees, when you knocked me down (repeat chorus) Break and Outro : F A7 Bb F A7 Bb
