[Intro] A* F* A* F* Am F Am F [Verse 1]
A*          F*
  There's a spider crawling 

A*                F*
  On the bathroom mirror

A*         F*              C       Em
  Right on top of my right eye

A*                 F*
  And I can't stop staring back

A*          F*
  How did I get this way?

Am           F                G       C       F      C
  Take a big look at a living lie
[Chorus]
G          C               F        C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust

G              C                     F        C
  How do you stand when you've been crushed

G             C           Bb
  So rags to riches was a bust
A* F* A* F* [Verse 2]
A*            F*
  Sometimes I dream about it

A*                    F*
  What it's like back home

A*             F*                   C        Em
  The railroad tracks and the pussywillow

Am             F
  But I had to leave it

Am         F
  Now I go back

Am            F                       G     C       F      C
  Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
[Chorus]
G          C               F        C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust

G              C                    F         C
  How do you stand when you've been crushed

G             C           Bb      F
  So rags to riches was a bust
[Bridge]
Bb      F
  Busted once again

Bb                   F
  Well I’ll show them one day

Bb          F                  G
  That I can buy and sell the world
[Solo]

A* F* A* F*
Am            F
  And one day I’ll come through

Am            F
  My American dream

A*             F*             G       C       F      C
  But it won't mean a fucking thing
[Chorus]
G          C                F        C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust

G              C                     F         C
  How do you stand when you've been crushed

G             C                F      C
  So rags to rags and rust to rust       don't let me go!

G          C                F      C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust       don't let me go!

G          C                F      C
  Rags to rags and rust to rust       don't let me go!
