 A                   D         A 
 I walked to NY and back from LA
   A                        D           A 
 I lived on a mountain and once by the bay
   A                             D           A  
 i bought an apartment and I've slept in the hay
            E                            
 but theres no place thats softer than...
 
     A                     D          A 
 the living today is just getting so bad
          A                        D               A  
 theres a look on your face and it says youve been had
          A                          D            A 
 you can take all my money but just dont make me mad
               E                   
 cause theres nobody meaner than...

 A                    D         A 
 I pray to buddha to allah and jim
 A                       D               A  
 I turned to jesus and stayed there with him
 A                      D             A 
 i barely live but i learned how to swim
             E                                 
 now theres nobody cleaner than me or than him.
