Rich man living in a poor mans house — Bon Jovi

Verse

Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet He's gotta pay his credit cards Yeah he's been dealing with the odds that even Vegas can't beat By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet He grabs his boots & his coat, leaves a note that says I Love You And runs to catch a bus down at the end of Market Street

Chorus

It took some time to figure it out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house He might be down, but he ain't out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

Verse

Every night at home, feels like it's Christmas Eve Gracie's got his dinner on the stove, Daddy's coming home And they've got seven hungry children that are tugging on his sleeve

Chorus

It took some time to figure it out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house He might be down, but he ain't out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house Every night at five when work lets out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

Bridge

He arrives at 9 as the work bell's ringing Hits the grind but his heart is singing

SOLO: C G D G }

Some men live for money Some men live for work But it's a real man, a richer man who knows what love's worth

Chorus

It took some time to figure it out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house He might be down, but he ain't out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house Every night at five when work lets out He's a rich man living in a poor man's house A rich man living in a poor man's house A rich man living in a poor man's house A rich man living in a poor man's house
