[Verse 1]
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
"Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
[Chorus]
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you play this: [I think he doesn't play this in the
version that's on the single, but he does in the version
I have]

[Verse 2]
[play like verse 1]
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
Dm Fmaj7 C
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
Dm
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
Dm Fmaj7 C
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man
Dm
I'm cuttin' off his balls."
Dm Fmaj7
And then she heads for the clinic and
C Dm
she gets some static walking through the door
Dm Fmaj7 C
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
Dm
and they call her a whore
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
[Chorus]
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C
Then you really might know what it's like...

Dm
I've seen a rich man beg
Fmaj7
I've seen a good man sin
C
I've seen a tough man cry
Dm
I've seen a loser win
Fmaj7
And a sad man grin
C
I heard an honest man lie
Dm
I've seen the good side of bad
Fmaj7
And the downside of up
C
And everything between
Dm
I licked the silver spoon
Fmaj7
Drank from the golden cup
C
And smoked the finest green
Dm
I stroked the fattest dimes
Fmaj7
at least a couple of times
C
Before I broke their heart
Dm
You know where it ends,
Fmaj7
yo, it usually depends
C
on where you start
[when you've played the bridge you play this:]

[Verse 3]
[play like verses 1 & 2]
Dm Fmaj7
I knew this kid named Max
C Dm
who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
Dm Fmaj7
He liked to hang out late
C Dm
he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
until late one night there was a big old fight and Max lost his head
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
Dm Fmaj7
You know it comes that way
C Dm
At least that's what they say when you play the game
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
[Chorus]
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C Dm
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm Fmaj7 C
Then you really might know what it's like...
Dm
to have to lose
