_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ It's kind of hard [A] being a bum in this town, _ [G#] where the kids run [C#m] wild, running all around.
We go by behind [A] without a sound, _ [G#] and we all got [C#m] stories to tell.
_ Put a penny in the [A] cup, you might hear us moan.
_ [G#] I'm just a dollar short of [C#m] catching the Greyhound home.
_ And God bless you sir, [A] won't see me no more.
[G#] _
Cause I'll be drunk [C#m] behind the Jiffy store.
_ [C#] But I'm gonna get straight [F#m] if it's the last thing I can bear.
[B] I'd get my life together [E] if someone would care.
[C#] And if I should [F#m] die before my time is through, [G#] _
tell all the [C#m] people who I was. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#m] On _ _ a bench, sour [A] stench clutching my boobs.
[G#] A pair of Swiss cheese [C#m] socks and tore up shoes.
Whiskey breath dumps the [A] chef next to Taco Bell.
[G#] I drop my [C#m] aspirations down a wishing well.
_ Drunk in Stance, piss [A] my pants, piano keyed teeth.
[G#] All these things will blind [C#m] you from the man beneath.
_ I'm not a fool, I've been to [A] school, I've read some too.
[G#] You see us bums are [C#m] people too. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] So I'm back [A] in jail, I can't make bail.
I get my three [G#] square meals.
Oh how I've forgotten [C#] how a bed in Pillar [C#m] feels.
I take a breath, [A] there's nothing left.
I lay my head, [G#] the Bible said.
To all those weary, [C#m] I will give you rest.
[C#] I'm gonna get straight [F#m] if it's the last thing I can bear.
[B] I'd get my life [E] together if someone would care.
[C#] And if I should [F#m] die before my time is through, [G#] _
tell all the [C#m] people who I was.
[C#] _ _
[F#m] It's rough.
I mean, I didn't sleep in the lower wacker, I didn't sleep on the bridges.
[G#] I didn't sleep in the little [C#m] cardboard boxes and stuff, you know, just survive.
[F#m] Especially in the wintertime is the hardest time.
And [A] like, I go to a few [G#] applications for a job and stuff, they look at me, you know, I'm not [C#m] looking presentable.
And then they, well we'll call you, leave a [F#m] number.
But how can I leave a number when I don't have a phone?
[A] It's really humiliating to be sick [G#] in a cup 24 hours a day and people just [C#m] look at you like you're some kind of little bomb, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, I [F#m] have had people walk past me and say, [A] get a job, bomb.
And I said, wait a minute, I'm [G#] not a bomb, I'm a human being.

_ [A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ On the streets where I [A] sleep, bold it is my name.
[G#] You see I've lost my [C#m] wife and child and the whiskey is to blame.
So I've been preaching [A] gospels to the crazies on the [G#] curb.
Among these people [C#m] I'll achieve my fame.
_ Cause I can't get a [A] job cause I don't have a [G#] face.
I can't find no [C#m] food or a resting place. _ _
I'm a bad [A] guy _ _ [G#] and I'm probably right [C#m] here in this.
_ _ [C#] _
I'm gonna get [F#m] straight if it's the last thing I can bear.
[B] I'd give my life [E] together if someone would care.
[C#] _
If I should [F#m] die before my time is through.
[G#] _
Tell all the [C#m] people who I was.
[C#] _
I'm gonna get [F#m] straight if it's the last thing I can bear.
[B] I'd give my life [E] together if someone would care.
[C#] And if I should [F#m] die before my time is through.

Tell all the [C#m] people who I was. _ _
