Verse 1
Am
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
G F
Overtime hours for bullshit pay

So I can sit out here and waste my life away
G F Am
Drag back home and drown my troubles away
Chorus
Am G
Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
F Am
For people like me and people like you
Am G
I wish I could just wake up and it not be true
F Am
But it is, oh it is
