[Intro] Am F Am F Am F Am F Am F B C Am F Am F C B F F [Verse 1]
Am                    F       Am                 F
Right before the aftermath, I saw where it would end

Am                    F         B                C
They said it was an accident, I guess that all depends

Am              F      Am      F
On who you talk to and who you know

    C         B             F                   Am
And where you come from and where     where you go

              C             G        F          Am
                                      where you go
[Chorus]
C                Bb  F       C      Bb F       C
In your crowd of pushers and users, takers and losers

Bb      F   Bb      F   Bb      F   Am
Beggars and beggars and beggars and choosers.
Am F Am F [Verse 2]
Am                      F           Am                   F
Your childhood days are over as you stuff your shirt and say

Am                 F                    B               C
Made a choice it's wrong or right, it's this way I will stay

       Am              F                Am              F
You'll sell it to your children, you'll sell it to your wife

C              B             F                 Am
Buying is your business, and selling it's your life,

              C              G        F        Am
                                     it's your life
[Chorus]
C                Bb  F       C      Bb F       C
In your crowd of pushers and users, takers and losers

Bb      F   Bb      F   Bb      F   Am
Beggars and beggars and beggars and choosers.
[Verse 3]
    Am               F                    Am       F
The vultures are all circling around your withered brow

Am           F               Am              F
Scavengers, evangelists will get to you some how

     Am              F               Am               F
Your mother and your ex-best friend, letters that you never send

     Am           F            B              C
Your illegitimate children are coming for you now

        Am              F              Am             F
They're always dragging you down, it's looking like a showdown

        C                  B               F
Between revenge and in the end you can't defend
[Outro]
Am              C         G                 F
Can you try to imagine, a story that has no end?

                   Am                            C
I think you better steal it while you still understand it

                                  Gm
And sell it to one of your friends
