Poor Mans Mansion

Gm                                
I met a rich man in his mansion, 
          Eb
but he was poor in soul
              Gm               
Said he could feel those demons 
             Bb
dancin' all around his home
         Gm                        
He said "Not everything that counts
        Gm
 can be counted"
            Gm                     
So it don't always means it counts 
                    Gm
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
Eb                                
Watch my kingdom crumblin' and 
  Cm
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
Eb                            Cm
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
Eb                             C
If they gold liquor makes your head 
bang, it's heavy metal
Gm
It's a big facade, young peacock 
spread them feathers
Eb                                
Pain or pleasure, it's what ever, 
Cm
life is just quit playin' checkers

Gm
Wealth is not measured in treasures
                     Eb          
Quit treasurin' your wealth 'fore 
                  Cm
you die a lonely death, Mack daddy

[Chorus]

        Gm              Dm        
I met a rich man in his mansion, 
          Eb
but he was poor in soul
              Gm               
Said he could feel those demons 
             Bb
dancin' all around his home
             Gm

        Gm

            Gm                     
So it don't always means it counts 
                    Gm
just 'cause you can count it
                       Gm
That's a poor man's mansion

[Verse 2]

Gm
A righteous man will fall several 
times, but can still find a way
Eb                           Cm
I think about that scripture every 
time that I'm tryin' to pray
Gm
Games I ain't tryin' to play, hard 
to articulate
Eb                               
I know we'll be held accountable for
C
 all the shit we say
Gm
Been dreamin' of demons and burnin' 
houses
        Eb                       
Burnin' ounces, stressed, I won't 
       Cm
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
       Eb                          
If the pain ain't easier to change,
 Cm
 then he'll remain the same
       Gm
I keep havin' these bad thoughts, 
stuck in old patterns
Eb                           C
Relive the past daily, I can hear my
 soul shatter
Gm                     Dm
The man told me I must believe in 
somethin'
         Eb                        
And if I don't the past'll catch 
  Cm
me, I won't see it comin'
             Gm
Why does the heart desire when we 
are in need of nothin'?
            Eb                     
And all the things that we acquire 
         C
take the freedom from us, That's 
real

[Chorus]

Gm                         Dm    
I met a rich man in his mansion, 
           Eb
but he was poor in soul
Bb            Gm             
Said he could feel those demons 
           Bb  Bbm
dancin' all around his home
             Gm                    
He said "Not everything that counts
        Gm
 can be counted"
            Gm                     
So it don't always means it counts 
                    Gm
just 'cause you can count it
                       Gm
That's a poor man's mansion
