[Intro]
Em Dsus2/F# G G (x 4)
[Verse]
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
He told me 'bout when his house burnt down, and he lost everything he owned
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
He lay asleep for six whole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose
Em Dsus2/F# G
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
Em Dsus2/F# G
When you've nothing, you've got nothing to lose
[Chorus]
C G D G
Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot of trouble, he said
C G D G (Em)
But now the money is gone, life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head, oh-oh oh, oh.
[Instrumental]
Em Dsus2/F# G G (x4)
[Verse]
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
I know a woman with kids around her ankles and a baby on her lap
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
She said one day her husband went to get a paper and the motherfucker never came back
Em Dsus2/F# G Em Dsus2/F# G
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, but keeping the wolf from the door
Em* N.C.
she said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked, so why you gotta worry me for?
[Chorus]
C G D G
'Cos he left a hole in my heart, a hole in a promise, a hole on the side of my bed
C G D G
Oh, but now that he's gone well life carries on and I miss him like a hole in the head
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Am* C* G* D*
Now we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives

Am C G
Well, we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry o-o-on
Am C G D
