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

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

I'm a proud new papa, I'm an only son,

I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
[Verse]
E
I've been around the block,
B
I've been around the sun,
G# C#m
I've been up, I've been down, I've been over and done,
A E B B
I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
