Intro: D E7 G D D E7 Nobody loves you when you're down and out G D Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine D E7 Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime G D I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine D Bb5+ I've been across to the other side Bm F#7 G F#7 I've shown you everything, I've got nothing to hide G A7 D And still you ask me do I love you Bm What it is, what it is G Gm D D7 Db7 C7 B7 All I can show you is it's all show biz G Gm D All I can tell you is it's all show biz Nobody loves you when you're down and out Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime I'll scratch your back and you knife mine I've been across the water now so many times I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind And still you ask me do I love you What you say, what you say Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away Instrumental verse D Gm Bm7 Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking the mirror to see G7 A7 D Oo oo wee D Gm Bm7 Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep G7 A7 D Oo oo wee Nobody loves you when you're old and gray Nobody needs you when you're upside down Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground Whistling over verse chords
