Verse:
E             E7type1 A       Am       E               E7type1  A  D Dsus4 D
I run the God damned  pretzel store at Buckingham Mall
E                E7type1 A           Am   E                 E7type1 A D Dsus4 D
Here on the east wing's  second floor I'm belle of the ball
Ctype1               B7
But at night I could swear that I'm someone else
Am            B7       Riff1
Someone who's better

Chorus:
E           G#       C#m     E7type2
Why does no one come here to save me?
A7           B7         E A B7
Why won't anybody stay?
      E           G#    C#m       E7type2  A7           B7
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe    you could be her

Verse:
Six hundred dollars, seven days, and I drink all I make
While people with great big fat BA's, they move and they shake
I can't dress me up, I can't take me out
I can't do nothing

Chorus:
Why does no one come here to save me?
Why won't anybody stay?
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

Verse:
Six in the morning, I'm awake, and it's nobody's fault
I knot them up tightly, watch them bake, and rub in the salt
Somewhere there's a hell that was meant for me
And I think I found it

Chorus:
Why does no one come here to save me?
Why won't anybody stay?
                                                           A7 B7
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe   you could be her 
A7           B7
you could be her
