Tom: C
C Am
Credit complications in the checkout line
C Am
Its an awkward situation almost every time
F G C G
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do
Am G
You try telling everybody it's a terrible mistake
C F
But you can tell they don't believe that's true
C G C
They see it all over you when you're broke
C Am
I hung my head down as I walked out the door
C Am
I'm never ever going back to that store
F
They treated me like a bum in front of
G C G
everyone behind me in line
Am
It was all my friends and neighbors
G
looking at me
C F
Like I committed some kind of crime
C G
I guess you ain't worth a dime when your
C
broke
[Chorus]
F C
Now if I had money like I did in my day
F C
Just out of spite I think I'd give it away
F C
I thought it didn't even matter anyway and
D G
And the more I thought the madder I got
C Am
Time I got home, I was seein' red
C Am
I pulled a gun up out from under my bed
F G
I put a sock on my head and into the
C G
night I flew, away I flew
Am G
The next thing you know I had blood on my
hands
C F
But I had money in my pockets too
C G
You never know what you'll do until
C
you're broke
[Chorus 2]
F C
Now if I had money like i did in my day
F C
I'd buy a car and drive us far away
F C
I guess you know i have this debt to pay
D G
To society, honey wait for me
C Am
With good behavior I'll be out in seven years
C Am
Don't worry over me or shed any tears
F G C G
I learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew, chance I blew
Am G
The next time I won’t make the same mistake
C F
I'll shoot the camera out too
C G C
I'm learning all kinds of things you can do when you're broke
