[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][E]
[Am][F][C][G]
[C][G][Abdim][E]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
With [C]a soft underbelly
And a [G]hardened heart
They say you've [Abdim]got to be tough
[E]If you ain[Am]'t that smart
I'm [F]sitting here alone
[C]Waiting for my phone to ring
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Run out of time
[G]Run out of hope
The [Abdim]boys on the corner
never [Am]run out of dope
[F]I keep myself high
So [C]I can keep doing my thing
[G]

[Verse 3]
They [C]say "Stupid is as [G]stupid does
An[E]d everything's the same
as [Am]it ever was"
[F]I drink myself blind
Trying to [C]find a new song [G]to sing

[Verse 4]
[C]Time is money,
[G]And money talks
[Abdim]Bartender,
pour me [E]one more whis[Am]key on the rocks
While i [F]try to understand
Why [C]every man wants to be king
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Heavy is the head that [G]wears
the [Am]crown
(Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you [G]when
you're down
[Am](When you're down)
Laugh for now; later [G]you can frown
[Am](You can frown)
Heavy is the head that [F]wears the
[G]crown
(Wears the crown)

[Verse 6]
[C]With a sweet disposition
And [G]an iron will
[Abdim]A couple nice [E]cars
And [Am]a house on a hill
my [F]back account's full
But my [C]soul is still empty [G]and cold
All the [C]money and the clothes
And the [G]sold out shows
Don't [Abdim]mean a damn[E] thing
when [Am]nobody knows you
And your [F]home is just a house
When you're [C]sitting there
alone and you're old
[G]

[Verse 7]
I [C]heard love is a game
[G]I heard love is a rock
And I heard [Abdim]love is a[E] house
on a [Am]dead end block
But the [F]ending keeps changing every
[C]time that the story gets told
[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]Some pray for money
[G]Some pray for rain
[E]And some are just praying for
re[Am]lief from the pain
[F]But some of us will buy
Just about [C]anything we can be sold
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
Heavy is the head that [G]wears the
[Am]crown
(Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you [G]when
you're down
[Am](When you're down)
Laugh for now; later [G]you can frown
[Am](You can frown)
Heavy is the head that [F]wears [G]the crown
[F][Am]
[G][F][Am]
[G]
(Wears the crown)

[Verse 10]
I'm a [G]mean [C]old dog
Got a [G]big old gun
I'm a [E]proud new papa
I'm an [Am]only son
I'm a [F]beggar
I'm a thief
I'm a [C]liar and a cheater too
[G]

[Verse 11]
I've been [C]around the block
I've [G]been around the sun
I've been [E]up
I've been down
I've been [Am]over and done
I've seen the [F]bottom of the pile
And the [C]mountain top
Either [G]will do

[Verse 12]
[Am]
Heavy is the head that [G]wears
the crown
[Am](Wears the crown)
Everybody kicks you [G]when
you're down
[Am](When you're down)
Laugh for now; later you [G]can frown
[Am](You can frown)
Heavy is the head that [F]wears [G]the
crown
