Life on the nickel

Em            C       D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em                  G
But I can't seem to catch a dime
D                       C
Take a little hit and I lose the time

           Em          G
I took the man and his horse
           D             C
And ran before he looked up
           Em            G
I said the light's gonna change
         D               C
But I'm calm and feeling warm

        Em              C
Now I'm sticking out my hands
            G          D
And feeling weightless again

           Em          G
You got to push got to shove
       D               C
Got to eat before they eat me
        Em            G
Got the crown and the cup
       D           C
Got to write to my family

         G                D
Say "I'm calm and feeling warm"
Em        G             C
Not quite there but I'm close
           D
And it's a world of a difference

Em            C       D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em                  G
But I can't seem to catch a dime
D                       C
Take a little hit and I lose the time

        Em
Got the worst all behind me
             D
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
        C
I'm the king of the city
      D
I'm a roach and they're all primates

        G
This is meal time
D
Real life
        C
I'm not gonna fight
D
No I'm not gonna start a war

Em        G
I've been right I've been wrong
D              C
My smokes have come and gone
Em              G
I've been crazy been fed
D             C
Enough to not wind up dead

Em      G
And I'm lonely
   D                            C
My eyes have been closed to the world
           C            D
'Cause the world's got nothing for me

Em            C       D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em                  G
But I can't seem to catch a dime
D                       C
Take a little hit and I lose the time

Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
Em            C        D        C
Yet again I'm hustling hustling hustling
