From the album _Freak City Soundtrack_.

Written by:  Jeff Kelly


The basic riff goes like this, varied each time:


                                 (wail on this chord)
E|---------2----2--2-2---------O--2--2---2-2----|
B|-------2-3----3--3-3---------1--3--3---3-3----|
G|-------2-2----2--2-2---------O--2--2---2-2----|   [repeat]
D|----2--2------------------2-----O--O---O-O----|
A|-O---------------------3--------O--O---O-O----|
E|--------------------------------3--3---3-3----|

                
Pressed lips and tender hips

                    
Turnin' in my head

                  
Writing poems in a corner booth

                          
That I'd die if she read

                   
Seeing her in but a silver cross

                   
Lying on her bed


[chorus:]

                             
No one can save us from Kim the waitress

                            
No one can save us but Kim the waitress

                            
Nobody can save us but Kim the waitress

                                    
Always turns me on


Sometimes she comes with coffee
Leaning over pouring
I'd like to gently pull her to me
Kiss her with no warning
Seeing her some sunny Sunday morning


[chorus]

                  (32OO33)
                 
She doesn't come around anymore

                    
And that bothers me

                    
And that bothers me

         
Yeah, it bothers me

                                                
Though I don't stand a ghost of a chance with her

                      
She's pretty (and that bothers me)

                      
She's pretty (and that bothers me)

                   
So pretty (and that bothers me)

       
And it bothers me


[chorus]

                              
No one can save us

                              
No one can save us

                                      
Nobody can save us
