Put On Some Speed Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Pre> 

(I'm still working on the chords) 

Put on some speed 

*** introduction: 

*** verse 1: 

There'll be no payoff today 

I'm just refusing to pay 

I'm gonna stand here and say 

"c'mon, do your worst!" 

Of course they'll never hear me 

But we know 'bout that from the first 

*** verse 2: 

I had some lessons to learn 

But they are not your concern 

I think at least you'd admit 

You get what you choose 

'cause I'm out here watching 

Walking around in your shoes 

*** chorus: 

No one is running for help 

'cause no one saves you from yourself 

You've got solutions you need 

Well, put on some speed 

*** verse 3: 

You never knew me at all 

Now you tell me who's at fault 

I left that book on the table 

For you to read, but 

You've got to be willing 

To pick up the language at least 

*** chorus: 

No one is running for help 

'cause no one saves you from yourself 

You've got solutions you need 

Well, put on some speed 

*** bridge 

There's not a "they" who's gonna stop it 

That idea went with Adam 

Right after the fall 

No longer can we call on our fathers 

We're all alone, and it's all for all 

*** verse 4 (instrumental): 

*** chorus: 

No one is running for help 

'cause no one saves you from yourself 

You've got solutions you need 

Well, put on some speed 

*** coda:
