[Verse 1]
Bm
Pay your debt to the man on the corner
D
He poses a threat and he seems a tall order
Em
He’s making his way to you
             G       F#
Through a heavy crowd

Bm
He’s coming along, and he’s coming straight for you
D                                           Em 
And everyone does their best to ignore your screams and your pleas
            G     F#
No matter how loud

[Chorus]
E5              D5                       B5 D5   B5 D5
What can you do when you know he carries a knife?
E5               D5             B5 D5  B5 D5
Give up the money, or give up your life
E5                 D5        B5 D5    B5 D5
And who would ever wanna die so young?
E5                         D5
So that’s the price you pay

Bm
The world is a rough tough place to be
D
On a Friday night, out in the city
Em                                               G      F#
When there’s no one in the end who’s looking out for you
Bm
So pay your debt or be quick to run
D
Or in the next day paper be another one
Em                                  G  F#
Who bit off more than he could even chew

He bit off more than he could even chew

And who would ever wanna die so young?
