GmEb
I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul
GmBb
Said he could feel those demons dancin' all around his home
GmGm
He said "Not everything that counts can be counted"
GmGm
So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it
Gm
That's a poor man's mansion
[Verse]
Gm
I would call it quits walk away from all of it
EbCm
Watch my kingdom crumblin' and just laugh at the thought of it
Gm
Pick up all them pieces, and rebuild it like I'm Solomon
Eb
I hit bottom, then climbed out the hole I had fallen in
Gm
Never would have found my way, if I would ever followed trends
EbCm
You can loose your soul a lot faster than the dollar spends
Gm
Spin the bottle, kiss the devil, pay your dues, the debt is settled
EbC
If they gold liquor makes your head bang, it's heavy metal
Gm
It's a big facade, young peacock spread them feathers
EbCm
Pain or pleasure, it's what ever, life is just quit playin' checkers
Gm
Wealth is not measured in treasures
EbCm
Quit treasurin' your wealth 'fore you die a lonely death, Mack daddy
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Gm
A righteous man will fall several times, but can still find a way
EbCm
I think about that scripture every time that I'm tryin' to pray
Gm
Games I ain't tryin' to play, hard to articulate
EbC
I know we'll be held accountable for all the shit we say
Gm
Been dreamin' of demons and burnin' houses
EbCm
Burnin' ounces, stressed, I won't say a word about it
Gm
I met a man who had it all, but he wished he'd let it go
Eb
He said he failed to get it all he had to sacrifice his soul
Gm
Highs and lows come and go, but the pain is the pain
EbCm
If the pain ain't easier to change, then he'll remain the same
Gm
I keep havin' these bad thoughts, stuck in old patterns
EbC
Relive the past daily, I can hear my soul shatter
GmDm
The man told me I must believe in somethin'
EbCm
And if I don't the past'll catch me, I won't see it comin'
Gm
Why does the heart desire when we are in need of nothin'?
EbC
And all the things that we acquire take the freedom from us, That's real
[Chorus]
