I can't lose what I never had
D7 (xx0212@1)                        G7You (320001@1)can't take what I ain't got
         D7 (xx0212@1)                     G7When (320001@1)I'm happy, you won't make me sad
                 D7Depending (xx0212@1)on you all 
         G7Well (320001@1)I'm not
        G7Cause (320001@1)I started out with nothing
         A7 (x02020@1)                 D7and (xx0212@1)I've still got most of it left

When I'm down I just get up
When I'm down well I stand up
Been down many times well you know it's true
Haven't had a red dime between me and you
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)

[D7 G7] Repeatedly while rambling random stuff
        G7Cause (320001@1)I started out with nothing
         A7 (x02020@1)                 D7and (xx0212@1)I've still got most of it left (x3)

And if all fell apart today
I could just walk
Get on down the street
I ain't worried where I'm going to sleep
I can always find some food to eat
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)
