Verse:
[G]All this talkin' round in circles hasn't got us anywhere,
[G]We've been travellin down this road so long that we don't even care,
[C]I cut the palm of my hand and the blood comes tr[Csus]icklin' down,
[G]You stand there in disbelief and you don't make a sound,
[D]I turn and try to reach and pull the k[G]nife out [C]from my back,
[D]While you take the opportunity to sta[G]ge your nex[C]t attack,
[G]I just can't win for losin in this game.
Verse:
[G]Remember back in the day when we were friends,
[G]If you follow where the money goes you can see where it ends,
[C]And now you want to talk about respect and loyal[Csus]ty,
[G]I never thought that money'd get the best of you and me,
[D]You're countin beans in the corner and you still [G]don't make [C]a sound,
[D]While I'm givin mine away hopin they'll c[G]ome back a[C]round,
[G]I still can't win for losin' just the same
Chorus:
[C]No one can say,[G]
who is righ[F]t who is wrong,[G]
[C]It's just the wa[G]y it's been done fo[F]r so long,[G]
[C]Rich man gets richer,[F]
While the poor [F]stays the same,[G]
[C]Can't win for losi[G]n in this game[F][G]
