A                D
Pressed lips and tender hips

C       D/G   A    D   C   D/G
Turnin' in my head

A                  D
Writing poems in a corner booth

     C       D/G    A    D   C   D/G
That I'd die if she read

A                   D
Seeing her in but a silver cross

C     D/G    A    D   C   D/G
Lying on her bed


[chorus:]

A          D            C       D/G
No one can save us from Kim the waitress

A          D           C       D/G
No one can save us but Kim the waitress

A          D           C       D/G
Nobody can save us but Kim the waitress

D/G             A    D   C   D/G    A   D   C   D/G
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)
A                 G/D
She doesn't come around anymore

        A            G/D
And that bothers me

        A            G/D
And that bothers me

         A
Yeah, it bothers me

       C               G/D                    D    Dsus4  D
Though I don't stand a ghost of a chance with her

      A                G/D
She's pretty (and that bothers me)

      A                G/D
She's pretty (and that bothers me)

   A                G/D
So pretty (and that bothers me)

       A
And it bothers me


[chorus]

A          D           C         D/G
No one can save us

A          D           C         D/G
No one can save us

A          D           C         D/G        A
Nobody can save us
