You were bAmorn in a room in a hoEuse in a block in a stFreet in a town someCwhere just anoFther damn kid toEday with no toAmmorrow Dm E and your mAmother would work every hEour God sent and yFou'd know the way she'd fCeel so yFou learned to beg and stEeal but never bAmorrow Dm E
A kAmid needs his old man and E/G#you needed yours but your oF/Ald man was not arC/Gound he was pasFsing his time awEay doing tAmime Dm E so yAmou and your ma had to E/G#make it alone and wF/Ahile she would work all C/Gday yFou tried to find a wEay to make a dAmime Dm E

|(Am)| |Am G| |F| |F| |Am| |Am G| |F| |F| When you heard from your ma that your old man had died in the room with the quilted walls you seemed to hear the call and see the sign and at seventeen years you'd the piece in your hand and your fate and your future too now it was ma and you, the grand design and you killed and you robbed on your way to the top never stopping to turn around you never heard the sound of your old man crying the top of the world was yours for the grabs and the end justified the means until the sound of the old sirens would drown your dying And with the peice in your hand you're the king of the night but somebody told me and somebody's right that it's a long road to the top of the world Cody the kid with his sights set too high and he'll never stop until he reaches the sky and it's a long road to the top of the world :|(Am)| |Am G| |F| |F| |Am| |Am G| |F| |F|: repeat and fade
