Tom Waits - Pay me

They pay me ^Dm7not to come home ^{CM7 A#M7} Keeping me stoned I ^FM7won't run away

They say it's ^Dm7easy to get ^{CM7 A#M7} Stuck in this town Just like J^D#M7ohn

You know I ^Dm7give it all ^CM7up for the s^A#M7tage They f^Dm7ill my ^CM7cup in the c^A#M7age It's nobody's ^Dm7business but ^FM7mine when I'm ^A#M7low To hold y^FM7ourself ^Dm7up not a c^A#M7rime here you k^FM7now At the ^A#end of the w^Dmorld

And I ^Dm7kick my f^CM7oot at the ^A#M7lights I b^D#M7reathe it ^Cm7in all ^CM7night There's a ^Dm7light on a ^CM7canvas ^A#M7tree ^D#M7Money from ^Cm7home supporting ^CM7me

They pay me ^Dm7not to come home ^{CM7 A#M7} I won't eat crow I'll s^FM7tay away

And though ^Dm7all roads w^CM7ill not ^A#M7lead you ^FM7home my girl ^Dm7All roads ^CM7lead to the ^A#end of the w^Dmorld
