[Intro]
D D/C# Bm A G D x2
[Verse 1]
D D/C# Bm A Howard drives a minivan to the cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale G A D And it's been that way since 1994 D D/C# Bm A Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone G A D I didn't ask but I can tell he's from New York Bm D G D And he spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she'd be in college Em A Bm And that he always wished he'd gotten his degree Bm D G D You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling Em A D And somehow I'm the one you people pay to see
[Chorus]
G D Oh isn't that just the way it goes A Bm You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated G D Oh how am I the only one who knows Em A D I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm A Danny showed up early fifteen minutes till five thirty G A D Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight D D/C# Bm A He said he'd love to fix computers, but that he can't until he's fluent G A D So he spends his driving money taking class at night Bm D G D He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt and he helps his kids with homework Em A Bm And deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself Bm D G D Why that at night I'm up on stage, everybody knows my name Em A D While Danny's early picking up somebody else
[Chorus]
G D Oh isn't that just the way it goes A Bm You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated G D Oh how am I the only one who knows Em A D I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D
[Bridge]
Bm D G D And now everything's not given, I work hard to make my living Em A Bm But I'll give credit where I think credits due Bm D Maybe you got dealt a good hand G D Maybe you play it the best that you can Em Bm Em Bm But I don't know how far you'd walk without those cards A In Howard or Danny's working shoes
[Chorus]
G D But isn't that just the way it goes A Bm You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated G D Oh how am I the only one who knows Em A D I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D D D/C# Bm A G
