[Intro]
[Am7] [G/B] [C] x4
[Verse]
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
I know a man with nothing in his hands,
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
Nothing but a rolling stone
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
He told me 'bout when his house burnt down,
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
He lost everything he owned
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
He lay asleep for six whole weeks,
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell something
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
[Chorus]
[F]
Now I've got a hole in my pocket,
[C]
A hole in my shirt,
[G] [Am]
A whole lot of trouble, he said
[F] [C]
But now the money is gone, well life carries on
[G] [Am]
And I miss it like a hole in the head
[Instrumental]
[Am7] [G/B] [C] x4
[Verse]
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
And a baby on her lap
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
And the motherf**ker never came back
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise,
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
But keeping wolf from the door
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked
[Am7] [G/B] [C]
So why you gotta worry me for
[Chorus]
[F]
Now he left a hole in my heart
[C]
A hole in a promise
[G] [Am]
A hole on the side of my bed
[F] [C]
But now that he's gone well life carries on
[G] [Am]
And I miss him like a hole in the head
[F] [C] [G]
Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
[F] [C] [G]
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
[Dm] [F]
Now we've got holes in our hearts
[C] [G]
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
[Dm] [F] [C]
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
x 2
[Dm] [F]
Say we've got holes in our hearts
[C] [G]
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
[Dm] [F] [C]
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
