G                               C
I’m up every morning before the sunshine 
               G
comes rolling in
                                               
When that rooster starts crowing it just 
       C                        D
reminds me that I need to feed him
C/G                    
     Everyday is the same 
G
     but every day is different 
              C                     D
cause every day I grow deeper in debt

[Chorus]
                      C/G
And You cant cash my checks
                       G
And you cant feel this hunger 
                F            C
you can push me into the water
                     D
but you cant hold me under  
                 C/G
you can bring me down 
                     Em     C
but you cant make me beg
                G           D
you can take my word
                         G
but you cant cash my checks

[Verse 2]                     
G                                     C
It's so hard to stay honest in a world thats 
            G
headed to hell
                                             
                                       C
you cant make a good living these days cause 
                    D
the truth just dont sell
          C/G                   G
so if you go out my back door 
 
just over the hill
 C 
you'll see all these plants 
            D
that's been paying my bills

[Chorus] (x2)
                     C/G
But You cant cash my checks
                       G
And you cant feel this hunger 
                F             C
you can push me into cold water
                     D
but you cant hold me under
                 C/G   
you can bring me down
                     Em       C
but you cant make me beg
                G             D
you can take my word
