Cage The Elephant
Lyrics:

          A        
I was walking down the street,
               C
When out the corner of my eye
          D                   C      G
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
                A
She said "I've never seen a man
      C
Who looks so all alone,
            D          C    G
Could you use a little company?
        A
If you pay the right price
       C
Your evening will be nice,
            D                 C     G
And you can go and send me on my way."
                 A
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
        C           
Why you do this to yourself?"
      D               C                G     
She looked at me and this is what she said,

[chorus]

 A                                c                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.
   A
I got bills to pay,
       G
I got mouths to feed,
             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
         A
I know I can't slow down,
   D
I can't hold back,
            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.
          A                    c
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".

         A
Not even fifteen minutes later
         C 
I'm still walking down the street,
            D            C          G 
When I saw a shadow of a man creep outta sight.
       A 
Then he walks up from behind
           C 
And puts a gun up to my head,
          D                 C          G 
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
         A
He said "Give me all you've got
             C
I want your money not your life,
           D                     C         G
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
        A
I said "You can have my cash
          C 
But first you know I got to ask
      D             C             G
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

[chorus]

 A                                c                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.
   A
I got bills to pay,
       G
I got mouths to feed,
             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
         A
I know I can't slow down,
   D
I can't hold back,
            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.
          A                    c
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".


      A
Now a couple hours passed
          C
And I was sitting at my house,
            D               C         G  
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
     A
So I turned on the TV
       C 
And flipped it over to the news,
         D              C         G  
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
         A
I saw a preacher man in cuffs 
           C 
He'd taken money from the church,
              D                 C           G 
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
         A  
But even still I can't say much
         C 
Because I know we're all the same,
       D                C         G     
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.


[chorus]

 A                                c                     
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
 A                  D
Money don't grow on trees.
   A
I got bills to pay,
       G
I got mouths to feed,
             A                       C 
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
         A
I know I can't slow down,
   D
I can't hold back,
            A             G
Though you know, I wish I could.
          A                    c
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
         A                  D
Until we close our eyes for good".
