VERSE 1:
C G Am F
Cardboard sign old and bent says 'friend for life 25 cents
Dm C F G
When did this start making sense, Man it's really getting cold
C G
Sometimes I forget things and I get confused
Am F
I could still be working, but they refuse
Dm C F
Now I'm living with the bums and the w***es and the abused, man I hate
G
getting old
CHORUS:
C G Am F
Homeless, get away from here dont give them no money they'll just spend it
on beer
Dm G Am F
Homeless, will work for food, you'll do anything that you gotta do, when
C C G Am F C
you're homeless.

C G Am F
Betty sings a song that no one hears, as the wind begins to freeze her tears
Dm C F G
She says 'God it's been so many years', she's way past complain'n
C G Am F
She sings a heartelt melody, one that begs for harmony
Dm C F G
No it's not what she thought it would be, but hey it could be rainin

C G Am F
Homeless, get away from here dont give them no money they'll just spend it
on beer
Dm G Am F
Homeless, will work for food, you'll do anything that you gotta do, when
C C G Am F C
you're homeless.
VERSE 3:
C G Am F
You know life ain't easy it takes work, it takes healing cause you're gonna
get hurt
Dm C F G
You can lose your faith you can lose your shirt, lose your way sometimes
C G Am F
Ah you never really have control, sometimes you just gotta let it go
Dm C F G
When the final line unfolds, it don't always rhyme
REPEAT CHORUS x2
C G Am F
Cardboard sign old and bent says 'friend for life 25 cents
