(Whistle Intro)

The other day I checked my bank account
F
And I could swear it was the wrong amount
C                              
And I didn't understand cause
                G
I been working hard
---
         C
For the life of me I didn't know where it went 
F
I hadn't even paid the rent
C                       G            C
Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard
---
   F
Oh lord I should've seen it coming
 F7              G
This time I'm in deep
---
C
Now I'm heading to the poor house
Or heading to jail
F
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
           F7                                G
And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case
      C    
Cause I ran out of money some time ago 
           F
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
F7                                   G
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
                 C
On a beer budget

(Musical Interlude)
         C
Well my throat dried up and my heart just sunk
         F
As she motioned me over and popped the trunk
         C                                G
And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile
    C
And boy, I was greeted by quite the crew,
       F
This Loius Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo
C                                             G                 C
And those were just the fellas that were sitting on top of the pile

           F                                                 F7                     G
I said, "baby, there's a Wal-mart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands."

F         G              C                             F     
All the bills are in my name [All the bills are in his name]
F              G           C                              
They're gonna haul my ass away [They're gonna haul his ass away]
Am                    G             F
And I won't see her pretty face at all
F7                                   G
Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall...
