[INTRO] Switch between G5 and C5

          G5
There's a man, on the corner,
          G5
with His hands holding tightly to his
C5
Hat so it wont blow away.

        G5
With a girl, with her hands in her
G5                               C5
Pockets, holding tightly to her Money,

so she wont blow it today.
             G5           C5
Its all the same.  Every day.

         G5
When he gets home from work
           G5
Theres his children already in bed
   C5
Without seeing his face today.
         G5
And the girl with empty pockets
          G5
Spent her money
                                 C5
She might as well just throw her wallet in the fireplace.


    A5
And she is the L and
C5
he is the O
    G5
For us, liars
     D5
out there

     A5
And she is the V and
C5
he is the E For the
G5
violence in
     D5
everyone.

    E5     D5           C5  (Here, leave the high e string open 
until after
                   'you', then switch to C9. See below for clarification.)
And we     might       spell you,

                       G5            C5
but we're Nothing like you.

          G5
When his kids grow up old and have
G5                                         C5
Children of their own, they swear They'll never
                             C5
wear the same size hat their father wears.
         G5
And the girl, now a woman, says
     G5                             C5
Shes happy and thanks god for Jewelry

and single millionaires.

    A5
And she is the H and
C5
he is the O
    G5
For us, humble
D5
orphans.

    A5
And she is the P and
C5
he is the E For
   G5
potential in
     D5
everyone.

    E5    D5        C5 (same as before)
And we    might    spell you,
                        G5
But we're nothing like you.
