[Intro]

[Verse]
G C G       G7                                                   
■ ■ ■ I was walkin' down the street when out the corner of my eye
        C             G7                  
I saw a pretty little thing approachin' me
           G                    Bb                 
She said I never seen a man who looked so all alone
             C            E7      G7
Oh could you use a little company ■ 
       G                        Bb                  
If you pay the right price your evening will be nice
            C                       
And you can go and send me on my way
              G                  E7                                  
I said You're such a sweet young thing oh why you do this to yourself
    C            G                        
She looked at me and this is what she said


[Chorus]
                               C     
Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
G                   C    
Money don't grow on trees
      G                  C             
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed
            G                         C   
There ain't nothin' in this world for free
        G                 C              
Oh no I can't slow down I can't hold back
           G             C    
Though you know I wish I could
            G                           
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
         G                      
Until we close our eyes for good


[Verse]
                                         Bb                     
Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walkin' down the street
               C                            Bb   
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
            G                             Bb               
And then he swept up from behind he put a gun up to my head
           C                             Bb   
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight
        G7                                 Bb                 
He said Give me all you've got I want your money not your life
       C                                         
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice
           G               G7                                 
I told him You can have my cash but first you know I gotta ask
              C               Cmaj7   G   
What made you wanna live this kind of life


[Chorus]
                                    C     
He said There ain't no rest for the wicked
G                   C    
Money don't grow on trees
      G                                
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed
                                      C   
There ain't nothin' in this world for free
        G                 C              
Oh no I can't slow down I can't hold back
           G                  
Though you know I wish I could
            G                           
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
                            C   
Until we close our eyes for good


[Inst]
G7                                            Bb                 
Yeah Well now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house


[Verse]
            C                C7           C  
The day was winding down and coming to an end
         G7            G              Bb                 
And so I turned on the TV and flipped it over to the news
           C                               
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
        G                                Bb                   
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church
                 C                                  Bb   
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
         G                                Bb                     
But even still I can't say much because I know we're all the same
          Cmaj7                                
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills


[Chorus]
               G                     G7    
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
G                   C    
Money don't grow on trees
       G                                 
We got bills to pay we got mouths to feed
                                      C   
There ain't nothin' in this world for free
         G                  C              
Oh no we can't slow down we can't hold back
           G                    
Though you know we wish we could
                                  C     
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
         G                      
Until we close our eyes for good
