Chorus

Nobody loves you when you`re down and out
Nobody sees you when you`re on cloud nine
Everybody`s hustlin` for a buck and a dime
I`ll scratch your back and you scratch mine

Verse

I`ve been across to the other side
Bm F# G - F#
I`ve shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
But still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it`s all show biz 
All I can tell you is it`s all show biz

Chorus

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

Verse

I`ve been across the water now so many times
Bm F# G - F#
I`ve seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
But 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

Bridge

D D+5 D6 G-A-D
Well I get up in the morning and I`m looking in the mirror to see, ooo
wee
D D+5 D6 G-A-D
Then I`m lying in the darkness and I know I can`t get to sleep, ooo wee!

Chorus

Nobody loves you when you`re old and grey
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
