F G Am
For all that you, did to me.
F G
You really helped yourself, yeah.
Well it wasn't very pretty, It wasn't very kind
I would rather go deaf, paralyzed and blind
But I laid back, held still by the fear
That you would smash me to pieces
And that I'd die here, I don't want to die here, no
You know I could have charged you a service fee
For all that you did to me
I should have charged you a service fee
For all that you, you did to me
You really helped yourself, yeah
I carry knives in my pockets, bullets in my guns
Don't you try to chase me, I'm not gonna run
Don't you ever ask me, Don't you dare to begin
Because, I'm not gonna talk about it
But, God I'm gonna sing,
God knows I'm gonna sing about it
You know I could have charged you
Should have charged you
Could have charged you
I would have charged you
Should have charged you a service fee
For all that you did to me
I could have charged you a service fee
For all that you, did to me
You really helped yourself, yeah
But thank you boy I'd rather walk home alone
No thank you sir I'd rather walk home alone (You might help yourself)
No thank you brother I'd rather walk home alone (You might help yourself)
No thank you mister I'd rather walk home alone (Am)
The G chord often sounds like its played with slight palm muting
with each string picked, especially at the end of the chorus.
