E
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
D                                A
I can barely make it through the week
E
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
E                               A
But right now I can't make ends meet
E
I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
D                           A
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
E
I need a chance just to get away
             D                      A
If you could hear me think, this is what I'd say
(normal strum, open chords)
E                        D
Don't need nothin' but a good time
A         E
How can I resist?
E                               D
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
A                            E
And it don't get better than this
(ska style, barre chords)
           E
They say I spend my money on women and wine
D                                A
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
E
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
       D                 A
I just like my fun every now and then
E
I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
D                           A
Gotta get a break from that same old, same old
E
I need a chance just to get away

If you could hear me think, this is what I'd say

You see I raise a toast to all of us
E                          D         A
Who are breakin' our backs everyday
E                                      D  A
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
E                 D      A
Lord, then put me away, yeah
(normal strum, barre chords)
E                        D
