His wife is tired, she wants to sleep

He tiptoes through the darkness and slips into the night

This boring life that he leads of

Buying and selling stocks makes him feel

He's grown old and tired, there's no joy; no strife

Just the passing time in this boring life

G# toothless bitch to blow him for a vial of crack

He cooks his junk in some Gatorade
    G Maj7               G#7             Gm
And scores a bag of chronic on the East MLK

The secret life that he leads of

Buying and selling drugs keeps him up at night
      D#maj7         F7           Dm7
He's selling hash, screwing trailer trash
G#6/9         Fm7
Hey, he's making cash
F#dim   A#       Cm7  F7  Dm7  Cm7  Fm7  D7
It's a whoring life

My life's in a rut

Verse:
Em13/C#           A#13                   Cm7
And so he's fired his heat; he's blown his blow
         A#13                            Cm7
It's coming up on sunrise and it's time to go
         A#13                     Cm7
He smells like barf, his hair's a mess
   D#maj7              Fm7
He wipes the coke and lipstick off his fat hairy chest

Chorus:
    D#maj7        F7         Dm7
He stumbles home from a lezzie show
G#6/9        Fm7    F#dim
He will be at work in an hour or so
   D#maj7          F7             Dm7
He crawls in bed, with the sleeping wife
G#6/9         Fm7       F#dim   A#7      Cm  Gm  x2 D#
Just a night to break up this boring life
