[Intro]
| C | F | Am | G |
| C | F | Am | G |
[Verse 1]
C
No one on this side of town
F
Knows a good place for a boy to drown
Am
They look at me so strange when I talk
G C
I wish I was a tradesman
F
Learnin' from some beat down old layman
Am
On some hillside they ain't named yet
G
Sleepin' next to mountain fire smoke
[Verse 2]
C F Am G C
And everyone lately's scarin' me
F
It's all backdoor deals and therapy
Am
The only callous I've grown is in my mind
G C
I wish I was a tradesman
F
Playin' with some tuned up tired string band
Am
Somewhere out by the badlands
G
Way past closin' time
[Chorus]
Am
So if you wanna trade,
G C F
I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Am G
Wanna sweat like hell,
C F
throw a hammer down
Am G C F
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
Am G C F G
And know I didn't take no easy way out
[Verse 3]
C F Am
G C
There's somethin' more that I need
F
Than accolades and sympathy
Am
Fatiguin' in the summer heat
G
While they smoke big cigars
[Verse 4]
C F Am
G C
So give me somethin' I can't fake
F
That rich boys can't manipulate
Am
Somethin' real that they can't take
G
'Cause, Lord, I'm not your star
[Chorus]
Am
If you wanna trade,
G C F
I'd say it's a hard earned mile
Am G
Wanna sweat like hell,
C F
throw a hammer down
Am G C F
And know the old feelin' of a five o'clock smile
Am G C F G
And know I didn't take no easy way out
