||: / Dm / Fmaj7 / C / Dm / : || (verse)

We�ve all seen the man at the liquor store beggin� for your change

The hair on his face is dirty dreadlocked and full of mange

He asks a man for what he can spare with shame in his eyes

But get a job you fuckin� slob�s all he replies

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes

�Cause then you really might know what it�s like to sing the blues

Chorus:

||: / Dm / Fmaj7 / C / Dm / : ||

Yeah then you really might know what it�s like (What it�s like)

Yeah then you really might know what it�s like (What it�s like)

Yeah then you really might know what it�s like (What it�s like)

/ C / C /

Yeah then you really might know what it�s like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love

He said don�t worry �bout a thing baby doll I�m the man you been dreamin' of

But three months later he say he won�t date her or return her calls

And she swear Goddamn if I find that man I�m cuttin off his balls

And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door

They call her a killer and the call her a sinner and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes

�Cause the you really might know what it�s like to have to choose

C H O R U S

BRIDGE on 6 mal Intro: / Dm / Dm-g / Fmaj7 / C /

I�ve seen a rich man beg I�ve seen a good man sin I�ve seen a tough man cry

I�ve seen a loser win and a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie

I seen the good side of bad and the down side of up and everything between

I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green

I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple times before I broke they heart

You know where it ends Yo it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit faced and keep the pace with thugs

'Till late one night there was a big gunfight and max lost his head

He pulled out his chrome forty-five talked some shit and wound up dead

And now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain

You know it crumbles that way at least that�s what they say when you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news

�Cause then you really might know what it�s like to have to lose

C H O R U S

..... �To have to... .....lose"
