[Intro]
Em7    D/F#  G  x4
 
 
[Verse]
Em7      D/F#     G
I know a man with nothing in his hands,
Em7           D/F#    G
Nothing but a rolling stone
Em7        D/F#           G
He told me 'bout when his house burnt down,
Em7          D/F#        G
He lost everything he owned
 
Em7     D/F#      G
He lay asleep for six whole weeks,
Em7                     D/F#      G
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
Em7                     D/F#         G
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell something
Em7                                 D/F#       G
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
 
 
[Chorus]
               C
Now I've got a hole in my pocket,
  G
A hole in my shirt,
  D                        Em
A whole lot of trouble, he said
            C                   G
But now the money is gone, well life carries on
      D                          Em
And I miss it like a hole in the head
 
 
[Instrumental]
Em7    D/F#  G   x4
 
 
[Verse]
Em7      D/F#       G
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
     Em7   D/F#   G
And a baby on her lap
         Em7         D/F#    G
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
        Em7          D/F#       G
And the motherf**ker never came back
Em7         D/F#    G
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise,
     Em7    D/F#          G
But keeping wolf from the door
             Em7           D/F#            G
She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked
    Em7          D/F#     G
So why you gotta worry me for
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
Now he left a hole in my heart
  G
A hole in a promise
  D                      Em
A hole on the side of my bed
     C                       G
But now that he's gone well life carries on
      D                           Em
And I miss him like a hole in the head
 
     C                   G                    D
Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
    C                      G                  D
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
 
              Am           C
Now we've got holes in our hearts
               G            D
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
               Am           C                  G
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
x 2
 
              Am           C
Say we've got holes in our hearts
               G            D
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
               Am           C                  G
Well we've got holes we got holes but we carry on
