[Chorus]
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
