C                           Am
Credit complications in the checkout line

C                               Am
Its an awkward situation almost every time

               F               G                        C              G
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do

        Am                       G
You try telling everybody it's a terrible mistake

            C                              F
But you can tell they don't believe that's true

            C        G               C
They see it all over you when you're broke

I hung my head down as I walked out the door I'm never ever going back to that store They treated me like a bum in front of everyone behind me in line It was all my friends and neighbors looking at me Like I committed some kind of crime I guess you ain't worth a dime when your broke Chorus:

       F                  C            
Now if I had money like I did in my day 

F                             C

I thought it didn't even matter anyway and

        D                  G
And the more I thought the madder I got

By the time i got home, I was seein' red I pulled a gun up out from under my bed I put a sock on my head and into the night I flew, away I flew The next thing you know I had blood on my hands But I had money in my pockets too You never know what you'll do until you do what you do when your broke Chorus 2: Now if I had money like i did in my day I'd buy a car and drive us far away I guess you know i have this debt to pay To society, honey wait for me With good behavior I'll be out in seven years Don't worry over me or shed any tears I learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew, chance I blew The next time I won’t make the same mistake I'll shoot the camera out too I'm learning all kinds of things you can do when your broke
