A5 
I hear people talking about the line that I am walking 
       A5                               E5 
How it won't lead to the palace of the wise 
          E5 
There the ones that say they love you, try and stay above you 
        E5                                  A5 
They'll twist your arm and make you tell a lie 
       A5  
But to me its a game of blackjack, go on and take a step back 
A5                    A5             D5 
Hold your breath and let that money ride 
          E5  
Cause the dealer he's got twenty and you'll bust if you take any 
      E5                      A5 
So it never was for you to decide 


              D5  
Just put your chips out on the table 
B5                     E5 
Deal'em when your able to 
    D5                        
And if you hit rock bottom ,  
B5 
Smoke'm if ya got'em 
   E5 
At least you know you played a hand  
    E5                       A5 
And you can stand up to the man  
 
 
I don't see the reason for the politics and treason 
We're riding the same rail that will take us home 
And the world is just a boxcar, preachers next to rock stars 
It'll take you anywhere you need to roam 
Ask about the gamblin', interrupt their ramblin' 
Make your way to the back of the train 
Cast your bread out on the water, you good sons and daughters  
You don't need a reason to explain
