IntroEm7D/F#G x4
VerseEm7D/F#G
I know a man with nothing in his hands,
Em7D/F#G
Nothing but a rolling stone
Em7D/F#G
He told me 'bout when his house burnt down,
Em7D/F#G
He lost everything he owned
Em7D/F#G
He lay asleep for six whole weeks,
Em7D/F#G
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
Em7D/F#G
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell something
Em7D/F#G
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
ChorusC
Now I've got a hole in my pocket,
GA hole in my shirt,
DEmA whole lot of trouble, he said
CG
But now the money is gone, well life carries on
DEm
And I miss it like a hole in the head
InstrumentalEm7D/F#G x4
VerseEm7D/F#G
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
Em7D/F#G
And a baby on her lap
Em7D/F#G
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
Em7D/F#G
And the motherf**ker never came back
Em7D/F#G
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise,
Em7D/F#G
But keeping wolf from the door
Em7D/F#G
She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked
Em7D/F#G
So why you gotta worry me for
ChorusC
Now he left a hole in my heart
GA hole in a promise
DEmA hole on the side of my bed
CG
But now that he's gone well life carries on
DEm
And I miss him like a hole in the head
CGD
Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
CGD
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
AmC
Now we've got holes in our hearts
GD
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
AmCG
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
x 2
AmC
Say we've got holes in our hearts
GD
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
AmCG
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
