 [VERSE ONE]
    Dm              F                   C                     Dm
 We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
  Dm               F                  C                    Dm 
 The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
 Dm          F                      C                      Dm
 He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
  Dm      F                 C              Dm 
 "Get a job, you fucking slob" is all he replies

 [VERSE TWO]
    Dm        F                      C                      Dm 
 Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
 Dm                               F 
 He said: "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll; 
          C                      Dm 
 I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"
   Dm                F                     C                      Dm 
 But three months later he said he won't date her or return her calls
  Dm                  F 
 And she sweared, "Goddamn, 
  F               C                       Dm 
 If I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls!"
  Dm                          F 
 And then she heads for the clinic 
                      C                       Dm 
 and she gets some static walkin' through the door:
  Dm                 F                          C
 They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, 
                        Dm 
 and they call her a whore!

  Dm              F                     C                Dm

 [BRIDGE]
  Dm 
 I've seen a rich man beg
  Dm                    F 
 I've seen a good man sin
  F                   C 
 I've seen a tough man cry
  Dm 
 I've seen a loser win
   Dm           F 
 And a sad man grin
  F                   C 
 I heard an honest man lie

 Dm                                                   F 
 I've seen the good side of bad and the down side of up
                  C 
 And everything between
  Dm                                               F 
 I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup
                     C 
 Smoked the finest green

 Dm 
 I stroked the baddest dimes
                       F 
 At least a couple of times
                       C 
 Before I broke their heart
  Dm 
 You know where it ends
                    F 
 Yo, it usually depends
  F              C Dm
 On where you start
 
 [VERSE THREE]
 Dm                     F 
 I knew this kid named Max, 
                       C                            Dm 
 he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
 Dm                      F 
 He liked to hang out late, 
  F                  C                        Dm 
 liked to get shit faced and keep pace with thugs

 Dm                F                        C                    Dm 
 Until late one night there was a big gunfight and Max lost his head
 Dm                   F                      C                  Dm 
 He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit and wound up dead
  Dm                    F                      C                    Dm
 Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
  Dm                      F 
 You know it comes that way, 
  F                   C                         Dm 
 at least that's what they say when you play the game

 [CHORUS] 
  Dm      F                   C                   Dm 
 God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
 Dm                      F                     C              Dm 
 Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
  Dm              F                     C                Dm
 Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
  Dm              F                     C                Dm
 Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
  Dm              F                     C                Dm
 Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)

 To have to lose...
