[Refrão]
               A                      D 
Well it takes four walls closin in on me, 
     E                                A 
To drive me out of my mind each and every day, 
A                                                          
Workin real hard tryin to make ends meet, 
A                D 
Doin the best I can, 
                  A        D      A 
And if I ever get a head before I'm dead, 
         E       A 
I'll be a lucky man 
 
Verse: 
A 
Every mornin when I punch the clock I know this ain't the life for me, 
A                                              E 
I've got dreams like everyone else, places I wanna see., 
      A                     
But life's got a way of cutting dreams into like a cold  
  D 
sharp knife, 
            A        D         A            E              
I've gotta hold on. I've gotta be strong. I wanna change  
A 
my life 
 
 
Bridge: 
E                                      A 
There are people to whom money's no concern. 
E                                        A 
It seems as thought they've got enough to burn, 
D                           A 
Well I don't need a lot I could use a little more than I've got, 
B                               E 
How many of these lessons must I learn 
 
Verse: 
A                                                     
I've got a little girl that I love. She says she loves me too., 
A                                                                                                       
You could search all over this great big world you'd never  
           E 
find a love this true, 
A                                                          
I wanna buy her a ring, I wanna buy her a house, but I'm  
                D 
livin in a two room shack, 
      A        D                   A        E     A   
I know I could if I could get the man from off of my back 
 
Repeat Chorus:
