Verse 1
G
When I'm broke or than broke
And it's all up in smoke
G
Gambled and beat, no shoes on my feet
Em
C
D
C
D
My
G
C
luck is all
lost at a horrible cost
G
And I'm down, held to ground,
and viewed as unsound
D
And I gotta say, I'm the happiest man in
G
C
G
the world
C
G
C
G
C
G
When you ain't got nothin',
D
ain't got nothin' they can take away
Got all the time in the world
To check out this gorgeous
G
C
G
state
C
G
C
Ain't got no cell phone,
leave me alone
C
Ain't got no un affordable mortgage,
I'm no unaffordable home
G
C
G
I'm the happiest man in the world
C
G
C
Well, look at my friends,
G
D
they are all like jewels, I am rich
Some people get power,
they act like fools,
G
C
G
C
G
I never switch
Sittin' on a park bench, lovin' the sun
C
Ain't got a nickel, but it sure is fun
G
C
G
I'm the happiest man in the world.
C
G
Well, I went to the ATM when I awoke,
D
and I almost choked when it spoke.
It said, you are broke, financially depleted,
your money is deleted.
Like your hairline, it has receded.
G
It continued to speak, it said it's bleak,
your troubles are big.
C
But it offered a solution,
a bit of restitution.
G
This ATM was a ma chine
with the means
Spilling the beans to pay for my dreams
D
I said, you're giving me chills
Spit out the bills
I need a tower of gold
D
The contents of a king's billfold
I need the treasure in a pirate's hold
D
I need cash hard and cold
D
I'm insatiable from what I've been told
I need the profits of a corporation sold
And if I can be so bold
What Wall Street stole
And enough dough to buy rolls
And hand -tailored clothes
And mansions and islands that I have chose
And I don't want to die,
D
I want my body to be froze
Security that'll never doze.
Live sculpture in a perpetual pose.
I want to be bathed in velvet
from my head to my toes.
I want my teeth capped in gold,
so when the light goes out,
C
G
No sooner had I spoken
C
G
D
that the ATM spit out a bus token,
said, here's the situation,
you'll be taking public transportation.
I was incredulous.
G
C
This is an insult off the charts.
G
I said, what do I look like,
C
Cinderella at the Walmart?
I felt like a clown
as I drove through the town
in the bus in the back thought I had riches
G
C
G
But I didn't have jack I in the street
D
trying to comprehend my defeat
And who did I spy with my little eye
but Sheena with a new life complete
see she had done time for a
serious crime
But after her incarceration
She had given her life a new interpretation
by ringing the bell for the salvation
of souls
And when they hear the bell toll
they know they are in
receipt of a place to eat
D
and a place to warm their feet
I said, look at my friend Sheena.
Ain't she an angel?
G
C
Her life could have been for naught.
G
D
Her resurrection was hard fought.
And here comes Bobby.
He's off the pipe.
He should have been dead, we all thought.
He was up to his neck.
He was a wreck.
But he kept it in check
G
with his sense of humor.
C
G
He had us laughing at his antics.
Even through a tumor.
C
And I hope he hangs on to
his health.
Because roaring in his glorious stories
G
She's working. Clerking.
D
She's also on the poll,
got the young boys jerkin'
Now that's no judgment
berserkin'
D
Homelessness was lurkin'
She got a special needs child
So she does it all with a smile
D
G
Bordering on smirkin'
C
G
I think it's safe to say
D
I had an epiphany that day
Look at all my friends,
barely employed
Maintaining their integrity,
not null and void
Inspirational, conversational
G
These are the things that I've enjoyed
C
G
C
I've seen homeless sharing
as if they had wings
and other things, like patience,
G
C
on death's door, smiling more,
G
C
G
D
not knowing what's in store.
I saw what clarity, charity,
and it humbled me galore,
and I went back to that ATM again
and requested an encore,
because sometimes you gotta
open up your eyes
and see what life is truly for.
D
D
And that ATM didn't gloat,
said, aw, you ain't really broke,
D
you just ain't got no money,
G
C
G
that's the thing.
C
G
The more stuff you got,
C
G
D
the more stuff you got that'll break
Put down that cell phone,
G
C
G
talk to me face to face
C
G
C
Well, I'm checking out people,
D
C
Ain't been broke in all of my days
G
C
G
I'm the happiest man in the world
G
C
G
I'm the happiest man in the world
D
G
C
G
I'm the happiest man in the world
