Intro 

Em / Em7 / Em / Emadd9 


Em 
Jimmy got nothing made himself a name 
Em7 
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day 
Em 
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie 
Emadd9                            Am7 
Our boy Jimmy just blew them all away 

He said it made him crazy 
                         Em 
Twenty five years living hand to mouth 
Emadd9         Em             Emadd9 
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth 

Em 
Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep 
Em7 
She needs her mother but her mother is dead 
Em 
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget 
Emadd9 
Just another hooker 
                Am7 
It happens everyday 

She loved her little baby 

But she couldn't bear to see her living 
Em             Emadd9         Em             Emadd9 
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth 


Cmaj7                    Bm 
I believe in the gods of America 
Cmaj7                        Bm 
I believe in the land of the free 
    Am7 
But no one told me (No one told me) 
         Em 
That the gods believe in nothing 
        D 
So with empty hands I pray 
         Bm 
And from day to hopeless day 
                 Em 
They still don't see me (See me) 


Everybody talks about the new generation 
Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind 
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation 
Like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time 
Somebody shouted save me 
And everybody started living hand to mouth 
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth 

There's a big white lady 
On a big white doorstep 
She asked her daddy and her daddy said 'yes' 
Has to give a little for the dollars that we get 
Has to give a little 
They say it's for the best 
Somebody shouted 
Maybe 
But they kept on living from hand to mouth 
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth 

So she ran to the arms of America 
And she kissed the powers that be 
And someone told me 
(Someone told me) 
That the gods believe in nothing 
So with empty hands I pray 
And I tell myself 
One day 
They just might see me
