[Verse 2]
DmMary got Fmaj7pregnant from a kid named TCom that said he was in lDmove
DmHe said “Don't worry about a Fmaj7thing baby doll, I'm the mCan you've been dreaming Dmof”
DmBut three months Fmaj7later he say he won't dCate her or return her cDmalls
DmAnd she swear “God Fmaj7damn, if I find that mCan I'm cuttin' off his Dmballs"
DmThen she heads for the Fmaj7clinic and she gets some stCatic walking through the dDmoor
DmThey call her a Fmaj7killer and they call her a sCinner and they call her a wDmhore
DmGod forFmaj7bid you ever had to wCalk a mile in her sDmhoes
Dm'Cause then you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike to have to chDmoose
[Chorus]
DmThen you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike (What it's lDmike)
DmThen you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike (What it's lDmike)
DmThen you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike (What it's lDmike)
Dm Fmaj7 C*
Then you really might know what it's like
[Bridge]
DmI've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man Fmaj7sin, I've seen a tough man cCry
DmI've seen a loser win and a sad man Fmaj7grin; I heard an honest man lCie
DmI've seen the good side of bad and the downside of Fmaj7up and everything betwCeen
DmI licked the silver spoon; drank from the golden Fmaj7cup and smoked the finest grCeen
DmI stroked the phattest dimes at least a couple of Fmaj7times before I broke their hCeart
Dm Fmaj7 C*
You know where it ends; it usually depends on where you start

[Verse 3]
DmI knew this kid named Fmaj7Max who used to get fat stCacks out on the corner with drDmugs
DmHe liked to hang out Fmaj7late; he liked to get shitfCaced and keep the pace with tDmhugs
DmUntil late one Fmaj7night there was a big old fCight and Max lost his hDmead
DmHe pulled out his Fmaj7Colt .45, talked some shCit and wound up dDmead
DmNow his wife and his Fmaj7kids are caught in the mCidst of all of this pDmain
DmYou know it comes that Fmaj7way at least thats what they Csay when you play the gDmame
DmGod forFmaj7bid you ever had to wCake up to hear the Dmnews
Dm'Cause then you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike to have to lDmose
[Chorus]
DmThen you really Fmaj7might know what it's lCike (What it's lDmike)
