I can't lose what I never had
[D7]You can't take what I ain't [G7]got
When I'm [D7]happy, you won't make me [G7]sad
Depending on you [D7]all
Well I'm [G7]not
Cause I [G7]started out with nothing
and I've [A7]still got most of it [D7]left
When I'm down I just get up
When I'm down well I stand up
Been down many times well you know it's true
Haven't had a red dime between me and you
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)
(D7 G7) Repeatedly while rambling random stuff
Cause I [G7]started out with nothing
and I've [A7]still got most of it [D7]left (x3)
And if all fell apart today
I could just walk
Get on down the street
I ain't worried where I'm going to sleep
I can always find some food to eat
Cause I started out with nothing
and I've still got most of it left (x3)
