[G] [C] [G] You are not.
[Am] [G]
[Am] [G] You are not.
[A] [G] I was walking down [Bb] the street when out [Gm] the corner of my eye I saw a pretty little [Bb] thing [F] approaching me.
[G] She said, I never [Bb] seen a man who looked so [Ab] all alone that could you use a [Bb] little [F] company?
[G] If you pay the [Bb] right price [C] your evening will be nice and you can go and send [Bb] me on my [F] way.
[G] I said, you're such a sweet [Bb] young thing and why [G] you do this to [C] yourself?
[Am] She looked at [G] me and this is what she said, oh there ain't [N] no rest for [C] the wicked.
[G] Money [Am] don't grow on trees.
[G] I got bills to [Am] pay, I got miles to [G] be.
There ain't nothing in this world for [C] free.
[G] Oh no, I can't slow down, [C] I can't [G] hold back, though you know [Bb] I wish [C] I could.
[G] Oh no, there ain't [Fm] no rest for [C] the wicked [G] until we close our [Am] eyes for [Ab] good.
[G] Not even 15 [Bb] minutes later I'm [E] still walking down the street when I saw the shadow of a [Bb] man creep out [F] of sight.
[G] And then he swept up from [Bb] behind, he put [G] a gun up to [C] my head, he made [Bb] it clear he wasn't looking for [F] a fight.
[G] He said, give me all [Bb] you got, I want [D] your money not [C] your life.
If you try to make [Bb] a move I won't [F] think twice.
[G] I told him you could have [Bb] my cash but you know I [Ab] gotta ask what made [D] you want to live [G] this kind of life?
He said, there ain't no rest for the wicked.
Money [Gm] don't grow on [C] trees.
I got [G] bills to pay, I got miles to be.
There ain't nothing in [A] this world for [G] free.
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back, though you know I wish I could.
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked until we close [Am] our eyes for good.
[G]
[Gm] I
[G]
[Bb] was passing, I was sitting in my [C] house.
The day [E] was winding down [Bb] and coming to [F] an end.
[G] And so I turned to the [Bb] TV and flipped [C] it over to the news.
And what [G] I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
I saw a preacher man [Bb] in custody taking [C] money from the church.
He stuffed his bank account [Bb] with rageous dollar [F] bills.
[G] But even still I can't [Bb] say much because [G] I know we're all [C] the same.
Oh yes, [G] we all seek out to satisfy those thrills.
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked.
Money [Gm] don't grow on [C] trees.
[G] We got bills to pay, we got [Am] miles to [G] be.
There ain't nothing in [Bb] this world for [C] free.
[Gm] Oh no, [G] we can't slow down, [Gm] we can't hold back, though you know we wish [C] we [Gm] could.
Oh no, there ain't no rest for [G] the wicked until we close our eyes for good.
