Intro
C# G# F A#m F# C# G# G# [x2]
[Verse]
C#
With a soft underbelly,
G#
and a hardened heart,
F A#m
they say you gotta be tough if you ain't that smart,
F# C# G# G#
I'm sittin here alone, waitin for my phone to ring.
[Verse]
C#
Run outta time,
G#
run outta hope,
F A#m
the boys on the corner never run outta dope,
F# C# G# G#
I keep myself high, so I can keep doin' my thing.
[Verse]
C#
They say,
G#
stupid is as stupid does,
F A#m
and everything's the same as it ever was,
F# C# G# G#
I drink myself blind tryin' to find a new song to sing.
[Verse]
C#
Time is money,
G#
Money talks,
F A#m
Bartender pour me one more whiskey on the rocks,
F# C# G# G#
while I try to understand, why every man wants to be king.
[Chorus]
A#m A#m G# G#
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
A#m A#m G# G#
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
A#m A#m G# G#
Laugh for now, later you can frown.

[Verse]
C#
With a sweet disposition,
G#
and an iron will,
F A#m
a couple nice cars, and a house on a hill,
F# C# G# G#
my bank account's full but my soul's still empty and cold.
[Verse]
C#
All the money and the clothes,
G#
and the sold out shows,
F A#m
don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you,
F# C# G# G#
and your home is just a house when you're sittin' there alone and you're old.
[Verse]
C#
I heard, love is a game,
G#
I heard love is a rock,
F A#m
I heard love is a house on a dead end block,
F# C# G# G#
but the ending keeps changin' every time, the story gets told.
[Verse]
C#
Some pray for money,
G#
some pray for rain,
F A#m
and some are just are just prayin' for relief from the pain,
F# C# G# G#
and some of us'll buy just 'bout anything we can be sold.
[Chorus]
A#m A#m G# G#
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
A#m A#m G# G#
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
A#m A#m G# G#
Laugh for now, later you can frown.

[Verse]
C#
I'm a mean old dog,
G#
got a big old gun,
F A#m
I'm a proud new papa, I'm an only son,
F# C# G# G#
I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
[Verse]
C#
I've been around the block,
G#
I've been around the sun,
F A#m
I've been up, I've been down, I've been over and done,
F# C# G# G#
I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
[Chorus]
