C                           C
Walls keep falling while I look the other way
C
Never meant for hanging on
C                C
Told my lady the bread was coming home
C
Lately all that bread is gone

C                                     C
She said, Oh my don't be shy if your sleeping in my bed
C                                C
but don't mind coming by if you don't bring home that bread

            F              C        Am             G
I said, The good times are over, I can't get no relief 
            F              C             G
Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees.
            F              C        Am             G
I never go easy, believe me. I'm always gonna hold the line
            F                C                       G               C

I said to my bill collector don't come knocking at my door
C                          C
There aint no money for ya here
C                       C
And if I had a single dollar to my name
C                       C
Well I'd go spend on my dear

C                                   C
And he says, Oh my don't you try to keep your money hid
C                               C
Time keeps ticking by, I ain't playing with you kid
