[Intro] C#m G#m x2 C#m G# A G# [Verse]
    A                  G#m
His wife is tired, she wants to sleep

    A                              G#m
But all that Morgan Davis wants is cream of wheat

   A                        G#m
He waits and when she turns out the lights

   G#Maj7                  A7                 G#Maj7
He tiptoes through the darkness and slips into the night
[Chorus]
     Emaj7        F#7          D#m7
This boring life that he leads of

   A6/9        F#m7        Gdim      G#7
Buying and selling stocks makes him feel

           Emaj7           F#7            D#m7
He's grown old and tired, there's no joy; no strife

A6/9         F#m7     Gdim    B7     C#m  G#m C#m G#m
Just the passing time in this boring life
[Verse]
             A                   G#m
He wants the lights, the jazz, a piece of ass

  A                                 G#m
A toothless bitch to blow him for a vial of crack

   A                      G#m
He cooks his junk in some Gatorade

    G#Maj7               A7             G#m
And scores a bag of chronic on the East MLK
[Chorus]
    Emaj7        F#            D#m7
The secret life that he leads of

   A6/9         F#m7      Gdim       G#7
Buying and selling drugs keeps him up at night

      Emaj7         F#7          D#m7
He's selling hash, screwing trailer trash

A6/9         F#m7
Hey, he's making cash

Gdim   B       C#m7 F#7 D#m7 C#m7 F#m7 D#7
It's a whoring life
[Bridge] G#sus29 My friends are all salesmen
F#/G#
My wife is a slut

A9sus4/G
There must be something bigger I can stick in my butt
D#b9 The IRS is auditing
Gsus2
My life's in a rut
[Verse]
Fm13/D           B13                   C#m7
And so he's fired his heat; he's blown his blow

         B13                            C#m7
It's coming up on sunrise and it's time to go

         B13                     C#m7
He smells like barf, his hair's a mess

   Emaj7              F#m7
He wipes the coke and lipstick off his fat hairy chest
[Chorus]
    Emaj7        F#7        D#m7
He stumbles home from a lezzie show

A6/9        F#m7   Gdim
He will be at work in an hour or so

   Emaj7          F#7            D#m7
He crawls in bed, with the sleeping wife

A6/9         F#m7      Gdim   B7      C#m G#m x2 E
Just a night to break up this boring life
