Verse 1:

E I was walking down the street, G When out the corner of my eye A G D I saw a pretty little thing approaching me. E She said 'I've never seen a man G Who looks so all alone, A G D Could you use a little company? E If you pay the right price G Your evening will be nice, A G D And you can go and send me on my way.' E I said 'You're such a sweet young thing G Why you do this to yourself?' A G D She looked at me and this is what she said,
E G 'Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, A D Money don't grow on trees. E I got bills to pay, G I got mouths to feed, A D There ain't nothing in this world for free. E I know I can't slow down, G I can't hold back, A D Though you know, I wish I could. E G No there ain't no rest for the wicked, A Em Until we close our eyes for good'.

Verse 2:

E Not even fifteen minutes later G I'm still walking down the street, A G D When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight. E Then he walks up from behind G And puts a gun up to my head, A G D He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight. E He said 'Give me all you've got G I want your money not your life, A G D But if you try to make a move I won't think twice.' E I said 'You can have my cash G But first you know I got to ask A G D What made you want to live this kind of life?'
E G 'Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, A D Money don't grow on trees. E I got bills to pay, G I got mouths to feed, A D There ain't nothing in this world for free. E I know I can't slow down, G I can't hold back, A D Though you know, I wish I could. E G No there ain't no rest for the wicked, A Em Until we close our eyes for good'.

Verse 3:

E Now a couple hours passed G And I was sitting at my house, A G D The day was winding down and coming to an end. E So I turned on the TV G And flipped it over to the news, A G D And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. E G I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church, A G D He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills. E But even still I can't say much G Because I know we're all the same, A G D Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.
E G 'Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, A D Money don't grow on trees. E We got bills to pay, G We got mouths to feed, A D There ain't nothing in this world for free. E I know We can't slow down, G We can't hold back, A D Though you know, we wish we could. E G No there ain't no rest for the wicked, A Em Until we close our eyes for good'
