[Verse]
G
With a soft underbelly,

and a hardened heart,

they say you gotta be tough if you ain't that smart,
C G D D
I'm sittin here alone, waitin for my phone to ring.
[Verse]
G
Run outta time,

run outta hope,

the boys on the corner never run outta dope,
C G D D
I keep myself high, so I can keep doin' my thing.
[Verse]
G
They say,

stupid is as stupid does,

and everything's the same as it ever was,

I drink myself blind tryin' to find a new song to sing.

Time is money,

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