With a [C]soft underbelly,

they say you [E]gotta be tough if you[Am] ain't that smart,
I'm sit[F]tin here alone, [C]waitin for my phone to rin[G]g.[G]
[C] Run outta time,
[G] run outta hope,
the [E]boys on the corner never[Am] run outta dope,
I ke[F]ep myself high, so I[C] can keep doin' my thing[G]. [G]
They say, [C]
stupid is as [G]stupid does,
and eve[E]rything's the same as it[Am] ever was,
I [F]drink myself blind tryin' to [C]find a new song to sing[G].[G]

a [E]couple nice cars, and a [Am]house on a hill,
my [F]bank account's full but my [C]soul's still empty and cold[G].[G]
All the [C]money and the clothes,
and the [G]sold out shows,
don't [E]mean a damn thing when [Am]nobody knows you,
and your [F]home is just a house when you're [C]sittin' there alone and you're old[G].[G]
I heard, [C]love is a game,
I heard l[G]ove is a rock,
I heard [E]love is a house on a [Am]dead end block,
but the [F]ending keeps changin' every [C]time, the story gets told[G].[G]
[C]Some pray for money,
[G]some pray for rain,
and [E]some are just are just prayin' for [Am]relief from the pain,
and [F]some of us'll buy just 'bout [C]anything we can be sold[G].[G]

I've been [C]around the block,
I've been [G]around the sun,
I've been [E]up, I've been down, I've been [Am]over and done,
I've seen the [F]bottom of the pile and the [C]mountaintop, either will do[G].[G]
