[Verse 1]

        C                              F
My ole truck needs a starter and it's gaspin' for water
    D                               G
And it keeps runnin' hot and out of time
    C                        F
My wife's home a waitin' for money to buy the bacon
    D                                 G
And I just called her up with my last dime


[Pre-Chorus]

        F                    C
I keep hopin' for the better things keep gettin' worse
E                                  Am
Inflation's takin' more than I can make
               F                               C          F
When you can't pay for what you're buyin' it's not really lyin'
           C                          G
It's just maximum livin' on a minimum wage


[Chorus]

F                   C
Maximum livin' on a minimum wage
                         D            G
Ninety dollar bills and thirty dollar days
           C        F                     C               F
Lawd it's not that I don't wanna get them bill collectors paid
          C                   G       C
It's this maximum livin' on a minimum wage


[Verse 2]

    C                              F
The baby needs some new shoes and they just passed a new rule
      D                         G
That they won't let me have no overtime
         C                           F
They're cuttin' off the power looks like everything that's ours
D                                  G
Belongs to someone else when we're behind


[Pre-Chorus]

        F                    C
I keep hopin' for the better things keep gettin' worse
E                                  Am
Inflation's takin' more than I can make
               F                               C          F
When you can't pay for what you're buyin' it's not really lyin'
           C                          G
It's just maximum livin' on a minimum wage
