   Dm                 Fmaj7             C                      Dm 
     We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change 
   Dm                Fmaj7                C                   Dm 
     The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange 
   Dm          Fmaj7                 C                        Dm 
     He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes 
   Dm       Fmaj7           C                  Dm 
     "Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies 
   Dm       Fmaj7               C                  Dm 
     God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes 
   Dm                       Fmaj7                C                Dm 
     'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

   -------- 
   Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom 
   that said he was in love 
   He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll 
   I'm the man you've been dreaming of." 
   But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls 
   And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man 
   I'm cuttin' off his balls." 
   And then she heads for the clinic and 
   she gets some static walking through the door 
   They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner 
   and they call her a whore 
   God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 
   'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

   ------- 
   Dm 
     I've seen a rich man beg 
                        Fmaj7 
   I've seen a good man sin 
                         C 
   I've seen a tough man cry 
   Dm 
     I've seen a loser win 
                 Fmaj7 
   And a sad man grin 
                         C 
   I heard an honest man lie 
   Dm 
     I've seen the good side of bad 
                       Fmaj7 
   And the downside of up 
                    C 
   And everything between 
   Dm 
     I licked the silver spoon 
                         Fmaj7 
   Drank from the golden cup 
                         C 
   And smoked the finest green 
   Dm 
     I stroked the fattest dimes 
                        Fmaj7 
   at least a couple of times 
                        C 
   Before I broke their heart 
   Dm 
     You know where it ends, 
                    Fmaj7 
   yo, it usually depends 
                C 
   on where you start

   -------- 
   I knew this kid named Max 
   who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs 
   He liked to hang out late 
   he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs 
   until late one night there was a big old fight and Max lost his head 
   He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead 
   Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain 
   You know it comes that way 
   At least that's what they say when you play the game 
   God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 
   'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
