capo 3

Chorus:
Am              Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Em               Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Am              G                C              F
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
      C
But I can't seem to catch a dime
Em                                                  G
Take a little hit and I lose the time

Verse 1:
                 Am                 Dm
I took the man and his horse
And ran before he looked up
                 Am                  Dm
I said the light's gonna change
But I'm calm and feeling warm
                      Am                      Dm   Am   G
And now I'm sticking out my hands
                     F
And feeling weightless again
                   Am                 Dm
You got to push, got to shove
I've got to eat before they eat me
              Am                   Dm
Got the crown and the cup
I've got to write to my family
                      Am                        Dm
And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
       Am         G          Em         F
I'm not quite there, but I'm close
                                   G
And it's a world of a difference

Chorus

Verse 2:
                   Am            Dm
I've got the worst all behind me
Yeah they'll never be able to find me
             Am              Dm
I'm the king of the city
I'm a roach and they're all primates
             Am    Dm    Am   G
This is meal time, real life
              F
I'm not gonna fight
No, I'm gonna start a war
Am                Dm
    I've been right, I've been wrong
My smokes have come and gone
Am              Dm
    I've been crazy
Been fed enough to not wind up dead
Am              Dm
    And I'm lonely
       Am                     G        Em        F
My eyes have been closed to the world
                                                 G
'Cause the world's got nothing for me

Chorus (x2)

Instrumental: Am-Dm Em-Dm G Am-G C-F C Em G

Ending:
Am              Dm
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Em               Dm                             G
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
Am              G                 C                      F   C   Em   G
Yet again I'm hustling, hustling, hustling
