Tom: G

Verse: 
G
All this talkin' round in circles hasn't got us anywhere, 
G
We've been travellin down this road so long that we don't even care, 
C                              Csus
I cut the palm of my hand and the blood comes tricklin' down, 
G
You stand there in disbelief and you don't make a sound, 
D                         G       C
I turn and try to reach and pull the knife out from my back, 
D                      G        C
While you take the opportunity to stage your next attack, 
G
I just can't win for losin in this game. 
 
Verse: 
G
Remember back in the day when we were friends, 
G
If you follow where the money goes you can see where it ends, 
C                             Csus
And now you want to talk about respect and loyalty, 
G
I never thought that money'd get the best of you and me, 
D                               G       C
You're countin beans in the corner and you still don't make a sound, 
D                         G       C
While I'm givin mine away hopin they'll come back around, 
G
I still can't win for losin' just the same 

C          G
No one can say, 
       F           G
who is right who is wrong, 
C             G            F         G
It's just the way it's been done for so long, 
C              F
Rich man gets richer, 
         F               G
While the poor stays the same, 
C            G           F   G
Can't win for losin in this game
