Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - Cage The Elephant
(G) (Bb) (C) (Bb) (F) x2
I was (G)walking down the street when out the (Bb)corner of my eye
I saw a (C)pretty little thing approaching (Bb)me (F)
She said I (G)never seen a man, who (Bb)looks so all alone
Could you (C)use a little compan(Bb)y?(F)
If you (G)pay the right price, your (Bb)evening will be nice
Or you can (C)go and send me on my (Bb)way (F)
I said your (G)such a sweet young thing, why'd you (Bb)do this to yourself?
She (C)looked at me and this is what she (Bb)said (F)
|[Chorus]
|There (G)ain't no rest for the (Bb)wicked(C) (F)
|Mon(G)ey don't grow on (Bb)trees(C) (F)
|I got (G)bills to pay, I got (Bb)mouths(C) to (F)feed
|There ain't (G)nothing in this world for (Bb)free(C) (F)
|I know I (G)can't slow down I (Bb)can't(C) hold (F)back
|though you (G)know I wish I (Bb)could(C) (F)
|No there (G)ain't no rest for the (Bb)wicked(C) (F)
|Until we (G)close our eyes for (Bb)good(C) (F)
Not even (G)fifteen minutes later, after (Bb)walking down the street
When I saw the (C)shadow of a man creep out of (Bb)sight(F)
And then he (G)swept up behind, put a (Bb)gun up to my head
He made it (C)clear he wasn't looking for a (Bb)fight(F)
He said (G)give me all you've got, I want your (Bb)money not your life
If you (C)try to make a move I wont think (Bb)twice(F)
I told him (G)you can have my cash, but (Bb)first you know I've got to ask
What (C)made you want to live this kind of (Bb)life?(F)
[Chorus]
Now a (G)couple hours past, and I was (Bb)sitting in my house
The (C)day was winding down and coming to an (Bb)end(F)
So I (G)turned on the TV, and (Bb)flipped it over to the news
And what I (C)saw I almost couldn't compre(Bb)hend(F)
I saw a (G)preacher man in cuffs taking (Bb)money from the church
He stuffed his (C)bank account with righteous dollar (Bb)bills(F)
But (G)even still I can't say much cause I (Bb)know were all the same
Oh yes we all (C)seek out to satisfy those (Bb)thrills(F)
[Chorus]
