D                                           A B
Look closer you can see how I been running it.
I got a dollar bill in the cockpit.
Surprised being white is a black hole?
I got another job at the liquor store.
E     G      B
Damn. Oh Well.

They got a white pony in the stable.
They ride him when the pony isn't able.
But he don't really care, 'cause they pay him.
But still a black suit is gonna break him
Down. Oh Well.

Chorus:
B                          A
Look another way girl I'm telling ya
B                             A
God gave seven minutes right to ya.
B                                    A
And your mother put her money into platinum
             G
So that you wouldn't have to pay
  F#
attention

I'm leaning on a brick with my nails.
I'm telling 'em the money's in the mail.
Keep showing that my bones never fake it.
But still a brick bank is gonna break it
Down. Oh well

Chorus
