[Chorus]
Gm Eb I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul Gm Bb Said he could feel those demons dancin' all around his home Gm Gm He said "Not everything that counts can be counted" Gm Gm So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it Gm That's a poor man's mansion
[Verse]
Gm I would call it quits walk away from all of it Eb Cm Watch my kingdom crumblin' and just laugh at the thought of it Gm Pick up all them pieces, and rebuild it like I'm Solomon Eb I hit bottom, then climbed out the hole I had fallen in Gm Never would have found my way, if I would ever followed trends Eb Cm You can loose your soul a lot faster than the dollar spends Gm Spin the bottle, kiss the devil, pay your dues, the debt is settled Eb C If they gold liquor makes your head bang, it's heavy metal Gm It's a big facade, young peacock spread them feathers Eb Cm Pain or pleasure, it's what ever, life is just quit playin' checkers Gm Wealth is not measured in treasures Eb Cm Quit treasurin' your wealth 'fore you die a lonely death, Mack daddy
[Chorus]
Gm Dm Eb I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul Gm Bb Said he could feel those demons dancin' all around his home Gm Gm He said "Not everything that counts can be counted" Gm Gm So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it Gm That's a poor man's mansion
[Verse 2]
Gm A righteous man will fall several times, but can still find a way Eb Cm I think about that scripture every time that I'm tryin' to pray Gm Games I ain't tryin' to play, hard to articulate Eb C I know we'll be held accountable for all the shit we say Gm Been dreamin' of demons and burnin' houses Eb Cm Burnin' ounces, stressed, I won't say a word about it Gm I met a man who had it all, but he wished he'd let it go Eb He said he failed to get it all he had to sacrifice his soul Gm Highs and lows come and go, but the pain is the pain Eb Cm If the pain ain't easier to change, then he'll remain the same Gm I keep havin' these bad thoughts, stuck in old patterns Eb C Relive the past daily, I can hear my soul shatter Gm Dm The man told me I must believe in somethin' Eb Cm And if I don't the past'll catch me, I won't see it comin' Gm Why does the heart desire when we are in need of nothin'? Eb C And all the things that we acquire take the freedom from us, That's real
[Chorus]
Gm Dm Eb I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul Bb Gm Bb Bbm Said he could feel those demons dancin' all around his home Gm Gm He said "Not everything that counts can be counted" Gm Gm So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it Gm That's a poor man's mansion
