   I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
   He told me about when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned
   He lay asleep for six whole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose
        Em            D/F#         G
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you somethin,
              Em                 D/F#        G
when you've nothing, you've got nothing to lose

               C                    G                   D                         G
Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot of trouble, he said
               C                   G               D                         G
but now the money's gone, life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head!

Em           D/F#       G                            Em  D/F#   G
  I know a woman with kids around her ankles and a baby on her lap
            Em           D/F#   G                        Em               D/F#       G
  she said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother fucker never came back
       Em      D/F#     G                    Em        D/F#          G
  mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, keeping the wolf from the door
                Em
  she said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked, so why you gotta worry me for

               C                    G                   D                       G
Now he left a hole in my heart, a hole in a promise, a hole on the side of my bed
    C                       G                  D                G
oh now that he's gone well life carries and I miss him like a hole in the head!

        C                   G                    D
  well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
C                              G
  and sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose

                Am           C                    G              D
Well we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
                Am             C                      G
well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
