      Bm                    Bm                   Bm                Em
Tryna make ends meet with a week, no sleep, it's like a cycle that never ends
  C                     C           C                  D5       C
I can't pretend with no handling, I can't take care of no grown man
    Bm            Bm                Bm                    Em
All by myself, crying for help, but won't get saved by no Superman
C                     C              C             D5     C
All come round to the mighty dollar, we the last, abusing power
Bm                     Bm          N.C.
Clock is ticking, hour after hour, maybe when I throw my hands, you'll holla
[Chorus 3]

And it got to me, when you state your love
             C               D5  C  Bm  Em
But you run away, what could you be on?
                C            D5   C   Bm  Em
Now you're not around, but I hope you see
              C         D5 C  Bm  Em
Gotta be full-on, it is up to me
