[INTRO] Switch between G and C9
G
There's a man, on the corner,
G
with His hands holding tightly to his
C9
Hat so it wont blow away.
G
With a girl, with her hands in her
G C9
Pockets, holding tightly to her Money,
so she wont blow it today.
G C9
Its all the same. Every day.
G
When he gets home from work
G
Theres his children already in bed
C9
Without seeing his face today.
G
And the girl with empty pockets
G
Spent her money
C9
She might as well just throw her wallet in the fireplace.
Am
And she is the L and
C
he is the O
G
For us, liars
D
out there
Am
And she is the V and
C
he is the E For the
G
violence in
D
everyone.
Em D C (Here, leave the high e string open
until after
'you', then switch to C9. See below for clarification.)
And we might spell you,
G C9
but we're Nothing like you.
G
When his kids grow up old and have
G C9
Children of their own, they swear They'll never
C9
wear the same size hat their father wears.
G
And the girl, now a woman, says
G C9
Shes happy and thanks god for Jewelry
and single millionaires.
Am
And she is the H and
C
he is the O
G
For us, humble
D
orphans.
Am
And she is the P and
C

And we might spell you,
G
But we're nothing like you.
