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