He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues
D
He's singing songs about material things
G
And platinum rings and watches that go bling
C
E
But, diamonds don't bling in the dark
Am
F
He a star now, but he ain't singing from the heart
C
E
Sooner or later he's just gonna fall apart
Am
F
Coz his fans can't relate to his new found art
C
E
He ain't doing what he did from the start
Am
F
And that's foolish cause and feeling it far (????)
D
He decided to live his life shallow
G
Passion is love for material

You see yourself in the mirror
And you feel safe coz it looks familiar
D
-G
And you fail to see that it's trivial
Insignificant, you addicted to material
C
-E

-F
I've seen your kind before
You're the type that thinks souls is sold in a store
D
-G
Coz... what happens when they take your material
You already sold your soul and its...

And its gone... gone... going...

The house up on the hill gonna be gone

The gold burst on your grill gonna be gone
C

The ice on your wrist gonna be gone
Am

That nice little Miss gonna be gone

That whip that you roll gonna be gone
And what's worst is your soul will be gone
