B|-------2-3----3--3-3---------1--3--3---3-3----|

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
