Intro: C5   G5

C5
Well I'm going through the motions 
                                      F5
Seems it happens every night of every week 

Well it's an ever running cycle 
                                         C5
And the chance of breakin out of it seems weak 
        G5
Well my mind becomes a freight train 
       F5                           C5
And it never lets me get no decent sleep 
 
C5                                                                   F5
Well my head starts a worrying about all the little things I cannot change 

And my heart it starts a pounding 
                                            C5
Messing up the way the blood goes through my veins 
 
        G5
I never dream of nothin pleasant 
           F5                               C5
I'm always lost or gettin booed off of the stage 


F5
Well the west coast was a desert 
    C5
And New York City black 
     G5
So I spent some time in Carolina 
C5
Make my money back 
          F5                                      C5
There's a trail of blood that trickles down from Denver to the sea 
       G5                                              C5
And if that ones for the winner, this one must be for me 

                  C5
Well there's this busy little corner 
                                       F5
Half a mile down the road from where I live 

Where all these beautiful women 
                                        C5
Work the sidewalk for a little take and give 
                G5
Oh it's like an escalator walkway 
       F5                                            C5
I just mind my own business, make sure my money's hid 
                C5                    
Well I got this friend, he takes his money down there every day 
                      F5
When he gets off from work

He asks for Georgia cuz she's special, 
                                  C5
She reminds him he's a man he has worth 
               G5
Oh but I don't judge him cuz he's honest 
         F5                               C5
Which is more'n I can say I've been since birth 
 
         F5
Well the west coast was a desert 
    C5
And New York City black 
     G5
So I spent some time in Carolina 
C5
Make my money back 
          F5                                      C5
There's a trail of blood that trickles down from Denver to the sea 
       G5                                              C5
And if that ones for the winner, this one must be for me 

             F5                               C5
So if you're led into a wasteland or made to stumble through the dark 
              G5                         C5
You leave the cartoon color legacy or a common watermark 
   F5                                         C5
We always back the underdog because he's the only one we trust 
        G5                                             C5
And if that ones for the winner, this one must be for us
