Intro: 
Em    D    Cmaj7  D   Em 



[Verso 1]
 
Em 
 I saw him begging for some change 
D 
 Out there standing in the rain 
       Cmaj7            D                          Em 
With a torn-up T-shirt, holes in his jeans and his boots 
Em 
He turned around, I saw his face 
D 
 Well, Ill be damned, I know his name 
Cmaj7             D                  Em 
We came up in the same grade back in school 
                Cmaj7 
Man, he was the shit back then 
Cmaj7 
Another kid just raising hell 
D 
 Had the Jordans fore they hit the shelf 
Cmaj7                                     D 
Had to ask him, damn man what happened to you? 
D 
And he said 
 


[Refrão]
 
  Em 
Nobody wakes up one morning 
     D 
Like this is what I always wanted 
      Cmaj7 
To be living for the next fix 
D 
Kind of broke you cant fix 
Em 
Homeless and homesick 
                 D            Em 
And tired of the bullshit and I 
Em 
Wasnt born or raised this way 
D 
 I know I need amazing grace 
    Cmaj7               D 
But I aint begging for money 
                Em 
Im begging for change 
Cmaj7               D 
I aint begging for money 
                Em 
Im begging for change 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Em 
I got a hundred dollar bill 
D 
 It could help or it could kill 
   Cmaj7                    D 
It might buy a night with a bed and a roof 
        Em 
What if I throw a lifeline 
Em 
And he ties a noose

 You know me well enough to know
