                                  Pay Me

                                                                 Tom Waits

                F2            F2/E
    They pay me not to come home
    D2                    C2
    Keeping me stoned - I won't run away
                  F2      F2/E
    They say it's easy to get
    D2                             Bb2
    Stuck in this town - just like Joan

        C2                 F2           F2/E  D2
    You know I gave it all up for the stage
         C2          F2        F2/E  D2
    They fill my cup up in the cage
         C2       Gm           D2            C2
    It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
                                 D2             C2
    To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know
                      D2    C2
    At the end of the world

                 F2      F2/E        D2     C2
           And I kick my foot at the lights
                 Bb2        Eb2    C2
           And I breathe it in all night
           There's a light on a canvas tree
           Money from home supporting me

    They pay me not to come
    I won't eat crow - I'll stay away

                             F2                          Bb2
                  And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
                      F2    D2          C2         F2
                  All roads lead to the end of the world
                  And I sewed a little luck up in the hem of my gown
                  The only way down from the gallows is to swing
                  And I'll wear boots instead of high heels
                          F2              D2   C2               F2  Bb2 F2
                  And the next stage that I am on, it will have wheels...

                                                           Bb F2 C F2 (x2)
