Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*

Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied

Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
Then you really might know what it's like [x4]
Bridge :
Dm FMaj7 - C -
I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a tough man cry
Dm FMaj7 - C -
I've seen a loser win, and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie
Dm FMaj7 - C -
I've seen the good side of bad, and the down side of up, and everything between
Dm FMaj7 - C -
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup, smoked the finest green
Dm FMaj7 - C -
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart
Dm FMaj7 - C -
You know where it ends Yo, it usually depends on where you start

3rd verse :
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
I knew this kid named Max he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
He liked to hang out late at night liked to get shit faced and keep pace with thugs
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
Until late one night there was a big gun fight Max lost his head
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
He pulled out his chrome forty five talked some shit and wound up dead
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
You know it crumbles that way at least that's what they say when you play the game
Chorus :
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm*
Then you really might know what it's like [x3]
To have to lose...
