[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.
