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.

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?

[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.
