[Verse]
D G D
Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill
Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer
A
Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill
G D
The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die
E
He's gonna leave 'em all a little somethin'
A
But they're gonna be real surprised
D G D
There's a poor man livin' on a budget at the bottom of the hill
With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
A
About how he's gonna pay the bills
G
Well, only the rich man knows see,
D
That's where a lot of his money goes
E
To the man that brought wood in the winter
A
To take a little weight off his shoulders
D G D
There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
A
But first you'll have to crawl
D G
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
D Bm A
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
D G D G D G D D
Called wantin' and havin' it all
D G D
Poor man has every thing that the rich man don't
He's got love in his life and his heart
A
He's got a house he calls home
G D
The rich man owns everything for miles ar ound
E A
But what he needs can't be bought it has to be found
D G D
His rich kids think that they're better 'cause they're better off
That's how they grew up thinkin' and now
A
He thinks it's all his fault
G D
So while there's still time the daddy that they nickel and dime
E
Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn
A
And stand in line
