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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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