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

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

I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
[Verse]
A
I've been around the block,
E
I've been around the sun,

I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
