Intro:  D  E7  G  D 

D                             E7 
Nobody loves you when you're down and out 
G                           D 
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine 
D                          E7 
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime 
G                           D 
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine 

D                        Bb5+ 
I've been across to the other side 
Bm                                   F#7             G  F#7 
I've shown you everything, I've got nothing to hide 
G              A7          D 
And still you ask me do I love you 
         Bm 
What it is, what it is 
G          Gm               D	           D7  Db7  C7  B7 
All I can show you is it's all show biz 
G          Gm               D 
All I can tell you is it's all show biz 

Nobody loves you when you're down and out 
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine 
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime 
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine 

I've been across the water now so many times 
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind 
And still you ask me do I love you 
What you say, what you say 
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away 
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away 

Instrumental verse 

        D                             Gm                   Bm7 
Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking the mirror to see 
G7 A7  D 
Oo oo wee 
          D	                    Gm                        Bm7 
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep 
G7 A7  D 
Oo oo wee 

Nobody loves you when you're old and gray 
Nobody needs you when you're upside down 
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday 
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
