Tom : G
[Refrão]
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em G
But I can't seem to catch a dime
D C
Take a little hit and I lose the time
[Próxima Parte]
Em G
I took the man and his horse
D C
And ran before he looked up
Em G
I said the light's gonna change
D C
But I'm calm and feeling warm
Em C
Now I'm sticking out my hands
G D
And feeling weightless again
Em G
You got to push got to shove
D C
Got to eat before they eat me
Em G
Got the crown and the cup
D C
Got to write to my family
G D
Say "I'm calm and feeling warm"
Em G C
Not quite there but I'm close
D
And it's a world of a difference
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Em
Got the worst all behind me
D
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
C
I'm the king of the city
D
I'm a roach and they're all primates
G
This is meal time
D
Real life
C
I'm not gonna fight
D
No I'm not gonna start a war
Em G
I've been right I've been wrong
D C
My smokes have come and gone
Em G
I've been crazy been fed
D C
Enough to not wind up dead
Em G
And I'm lonely
D C
My eyes have been closed to the world
C D
'Cause the world's got nothing for me
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em C D C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
