He was a
          
Ya know it
        
He was a
                             
I was walking down the street
                             
When out the corner of my eye
                                          
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
                              
She said I've never seen a man
                      
Who looks so all alone
                          Bb     
Uh could you use a little company
       G             F    
If you pay the right price
     F                   
Your evening will be nice
            C                       
And you can go and send me on my way
              G                       
I said You're such a sweet young thing
          Bb                 
Why'd you do this to yourself
    C7        C      G7                   
She looked at me and this is what she said


[Chorus]
         G                     C     
Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
G                   F    
Money don't grow on trees
      G        Am 
I got bills to pay
      Am            
I got mouths to feed
            G                             
There ain't nothing in this world for free
C        G              
I know I can't slow down
  C              
I can't hold back
           G   
Though you know
  G           
I wish I could
            G                           
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
         G                      
Until we close our eyes for good


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


[Chorus]
              G7                    C     
He said There ain't no rest for the wicked
G                        
Money don't grow on trees
      G7          
I got bills to pay
      G7            
I got mouths to feed
            G7                            
There ain't nothing in this world for free
         G              
I know I can't slow down
  C              
I can't hold back
           G      G7          
Though you know I wish I could
      G              G7                 
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
                        G       
Until we close our eyes for good
                
Yeah You know it
G7      
He was a
           
You know it
       G
He was a

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


[Chorus]
               G7                          
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
G7                       
Money don't grow on trees
       G7          
We got bills to pay
       C             
We got mouths to feed
            G7                        Bb  
There ain't nothing in this world for free
          G              
I know we can't slow down
   Bb                         G               Bb   
We can't hold back though you know we wish we could
            G        G7           Bb    
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked


[End]
         G7        G        G7   G
Until we close our eyes for good ■
