Intro
D A F# Bm G D A A [x2]
[Verse]
D
With a soft underbelly,
A
and a hardened heart,
F# Bm
they say you gotta be tough if you ain't that smart,
G D A A
I'm sittin here alone, waitin for my phone to ring.
[Verse]
D
Run outta time,
A
run outta hope,
F# Bm
the boys on the corner never run outta dope,
G D A A
I keep myself high, so I can keep doin' my thing.
[Verse]
D
They say,
A
stupid is as stupid does,
F# Bm
and everything's the same as it ever was,
G D A A
I drink myself blind tryin' to find a new song to sing.
[Verse]
D
Time is money,
A
Money talks,
F# Bm
Bartender pour me one more whiskey on the rocks,
G D A A
while I try to understand, why every man wants to be king.
[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Bm Bm A A
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Bm Bm A A
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Bm Bm G A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
[Verse]
D
With a sweet disposition,
A
and an iron will,
F# Bm
a couple nice cars, and a house on a hill,
G D A A
my bank account's full but my soul's still empty and cold.
[Verse]
D
All the money and the clothes,
A
and the sold out shows,
F# Bm
don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you,
G D A A
and your home is just a house when you're sittin' there alone and you're old.
[Verse]
D
I heard, love is a game,
A
I heard love is a rock,
F# Bm
I heard love is a house on a dead end block,
G D A A
but the ending keeps changin' every time, the story gets told.
[Verse]
D
Some pray for money,
A
some pray for rain,
F# Bm
and some are just are just prayin' for relief from the pain,
G D A A
and some of us'll buy just 'bout anything we can be sold.
[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Bm Bm A A
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Bm Bm A A
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Bm Bm G A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
[Bridge]
G G D A [x2]
[Verse]
D
I'm a mean old dog,
A
got a big old gun,
F# Bm
I'm a proud new papa, I'm an only son,
G D A A
I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
[Verse]
D
I've been around the block,
A
I've been around the sun,
F# Bm
I've been up, I've been down, I've been over and done,
G D A A
I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Bm Bm A A
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Bm Bm A A
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Bm Bm G A
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
