Am G C Am G C
I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
Am G C Am G C
He told me about when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned
Am G C Am G C
He lay asleep for six whole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose.
Am G C
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
Am G C
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.
Refrain 1
Am F C G
Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot
C
of trouble, he said,
F C G
but now the money is gone, life carries on and I miss it like a
Ami
hole in the head!
I know a woman with kids around her ankles and a baby on her lap,
she said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother
fucker never came back. Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise,
but keeping the wolf from the door she said
the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked so why you
gotta worry me for.
Am F C G
Now he left a hole in my heart a hole in a promise a hole on the
Ami
side of my bed
F C G oh now that he's gone well life carries and I miss him like a hole
Ami
in the head.
Bridge:
F C G
Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
F C G
and sometimes you gain less than you lose.
Dm F C
2x Well we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our
G
lives
Dm F C
well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
