[Verse 1]
G
I was walking down the street,
Bb
When out the corner of my eye
C Bb F
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
G
She said "I've never seen a man
Bb
Who looks so all alone,
C Bb F
Could you use a little company?
G
If you pay the right price
Bb
Your evening will be nice,
C Bb F
And you can go and send me on my way."
G
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
Bb
Why you do this to yourself?"
C Bb F
She looked at me and this is what she said,

[Chorus]
G Bb C F
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
G Bb C F
Money don't grow on trees.
G
I got bills to pay,
Bb C F
I got mouths to feed,
G Bb C F
There ain't nothing in this world for free.

[Próxima Parte]
G
I know I can't slow down,
Bb C F
I can't hold back,
G Bb C F
Though you know, I wish I could.
G Bb C F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
G Bb C F
Until we close our eyes for good".

[Verse 2]
G
Not even fifteen minutes later
Bb
I'm still walking down the street,
C Bb F
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
G
Then he walks up from behind
Bb
And puts a gun up to my head,
C Bb F
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
G
He said "Give me all you've got
Bb
I want your money not your life,
C Bb F
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
G
I said "You can have my cash
Bb
But first you know I got to ask
C Bb F
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

[Chorus]
G Bb C F
He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
G Bb C F
Money don't grow on trees.
G
I got bills to pay,
Bb C F
I got mouths to feed,

[Verse 3]
G
Now a couple hours passed
Bb
And I was sitting at my house,
C Bb F
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
G
So I turned on the TV
Bb
And flipped it over to the news,
C Bb F
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
G Bb
I saw a preacher man in cuffs, he'd taken money from the church,
C Bb F
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
G
But even still I can't say much
Bb
Because I know we're all the same,
C Bb F
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills.

[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
G
Oh no we can't slow down,
Bb C F
We can't hold back,
G Bb C F
Though you know, we wish we could.
G Bb C F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
G Bb C F
Until we close our eyes for good".
