C Am7
It’s cradle to the grave to be good to each other
F C
I try to be brave oh mama, I don’t know, I'm cold as ice
Am7 F
And I don’t wanna do no favors
C Am7
You can live your life like a prodigal son
F
A wandering ace, you ain’t got no one
C Am7 F
To roll the dice, try and keep your hat on
[Chorus]
C Dm7 C
People, get ready, there’s a big ship coming
Dm7 F
I felt the fire now it’s down among us
C Dm7 F
Walked on wires, tried to be humble
C Dm7 C
People, get ready, now you know the deal

It's in high cotton or it's run like hell

[Verse 2]
C Am7
They say we'll understand it better some day
F
But who was it said they never worked a day
C Am7
They never worked an hour, they want to make him king
F
While you're breaking your back, like a slave
C Am7
So forward children never back down
F
What used to hurt you can't hurt you now
C Am7
The world feels broken, I ain't joking, babe
F
Never back down
[Chorus]

I felt the fire now it’s down among us
C Dm7 F
I've been a liar, I wanna get honest
C Dm7 C
People, get ready, thanks for coming round
Dm7 F
You try to play it quiet but they drown you out
C Dm7
You play a little louder, it's ten bucks an hour
F
You work like hell
