What About Me? - Moving Pictures (from 'Days Of Innocence' 1982)

Note: I've deliberately chosen an Am6 chord instead of a C(#11), for ease of fingering.
There would normally be a C in the bass, but the Am6 and Am7 sound fine and I'd rather have the melody notes
on the top E string

[Verse 1]
GWell, there's a Bmlittle boy waiting
At the Ccounter of the corner Gshop
He's been Emwaiting down there, Bmwaiting half the day
They Cnever ever see him from the Dtop
He gets Empushed around, Cknocked to the ground
He A7gets to his feet and he D7sus4says
[Chorus]
What about Gme? It Disn't fair
I'veC had enough, now I Amwant my share
Can't you Gsee, I Dwanna live
But Cyou Am6just Am7take Am6more Cthan you Ggive
[Verse 2]
Well, there's a Bmpretty girl serving
At the Ccounter of the corner Gshop
She's been Emwaiting back there, Bmwaiting for a dream
Her dreams walk Cin and out; they never Dstop
Well she's Emnot too proud, to Ccry out loud
She A7runs through the street and she D7sus4screams
[Chorus]
What about Gme? It Disn't fair
I'veC had enough, now I Amwant my share
Can't you Gsee, I Dwanna live
But Cyou Am6just Am7take Am6more Cthan you Ggive

[Verse 3]
And now I'm Bmstanding on the corner
All the Amworld's gone Ghome
NoEmbody's changed, noBmbody's been saved
CAnd I'm feeling Dcold and alone
EmI guess I'm lucky, CI smile a lot
But A7sometimes I wish for D7sus4more, than I've Dgot C
[Chorus]
What about Gme? It Disn't fair
CI've have enough, now I Amwant my share
Can't you Gsee, I Dwanna live
