G chordG
I was walkin' down the street
Bb chordBb
When out the corner of my eye
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

G chordG
She said I never seen a man
Bb chordBb
Who looked so all alone
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
Oh could you use a little company

G chordG
And if you pay the right price
Bb chordBb
Your evening will be nice
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
You can go and send me on my way

G chordG
I said you're such a sweet young thing
Bb chordBb
Why do you do this to yourself?
C chordC Bb chordBb F chordF
She looked at me and this is what she said


[Chorus:]
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Money don't grow on trees
G chordG
I got bills to pay
G chordG
I got mouths to feed
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G chordG
No I can't slow down
Bb chordBb F chordF
I can't hold back
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Though you know I wish I could
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG
Until we close our eyes for good

G chordG
Not even 15 minutes later
Bb chordBb
I'm still walkin' down the street
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
G chordG
And then he swept up from behind
Bb chordBb
He put a gun up to my head
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight

G chordG
He said give me all you got
Bb chordBb
I want your money not your life
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice

G chordG
I told him you can have my cash
Bb chordBb
But first you know I gotta ask
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
What made you want to live this kind of life?

[Chorus]

G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Money don't grow on trees
G chordG
I got bills to pay
G chordG
I got mouths to feed
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G chordG
No I can't slow down
Bb chordBb F chordF
I can't hold back
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Though you know I wish I could
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG
Until we close our eyes for good

G chordG
Well now a couple hours passed
Bb chordBb
And I was sitting in my house
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
The day was winding down and coming to an end

G chordG
So I turned to the TV
Bb chordBb
And flipped it over to the news
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

G chordG
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
Bb chordBb
He'd taken money from the church
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
He'd stuff his bank account with righteous dollar bills

G chordG
But even still I can't say much
Bb chordBb
Because I know we're all the same
C chordC Bb chordBb / F chordF
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

[Chorus]

G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Money don't grow on trees
G chordG
I got bills to pay
G chordG
I got mouths to feed
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G chordG
No I can't slow down
Bb chordBb F chordF
I can't hold back
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
Though you know I wish I could
G chordG Bb chordBb F chordF
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G chordG
Until we close our eyes for good
