DNobody loves you when you're E7down and out
GNobody sees you when you're Don cloud nine
DEverybody's hustlin' for a E7buck and a dime
GI'll scratch your back and Dyou scratch mine

DI've been across to the B5+other side
BmI've shown you everything, I got F#nothing to hide G F#
GAnd still you Aask me do I Dlove you, what it Bm7is, what it is
GAll I can Gm6tell you is it's Dall show bizBm7
GAll I can Gmtell you is it's Dall show biz

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine

I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

DWell I get up in the morning and I'm D5+looking in the mirror to see, GoAoo Dwee!
DThen I'm lying in the darkness and I D55+know I can't get to sleep, GoAoo Dwee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
