Tom: Gm
Gm Eb
I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul
Gm Bb
Said he could feel those demons dancin' all around his home
Gm Gm
He said "Not everything that counts can be counted"
Gm Gm
So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it
Gm
That's a poor man's mansion
[Verse]
Gm
I would call it quits walk away from all of it
Eb Cm
Watch my kingdom crumblin' and just laugh at the thought of it
Gm
Pick up all them pieces, and rebuild it like I'm Solomon
Eb
I hit bottom, then climbed out the hole I had fallen in
Gm
Never would have found my way, if I would ever followed trends
Eb Cm
You can loose your soul a lot faster than the dollar spends
Gm
Spin the bottle, kiss the devil, pay your dues, the debt is settled
Eb C
If they gold liquor makes your head bang, it's heavy metal
Gm
It's a big facade, young peacock spread them feathers
Eb Cm
Pain or pleasure, it's what ever, life is just quit playin' checkers
Gm
Wealth is not measured in treasures
Eb Cm
Quit treasurin' your wealth 'fore you die a lonely death, Mack daddy
[Chorus]
Gm Dm Eb
I met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul
Gm Bb

Gm Gm
He said "Not everything that counts can be counted"
Gm Gm
So it don't always means it counts just 'cause you can count it
Gm
That's a poor man's mansion
[Verse 2]
Gm
A righteous man will fall several times, but can still find a way
Eb Cm
I think about that scripture every time that I'm tryin' to pray
Gm
Games I ain't tryin' to play, hard to articulate
Eb C
I know we'll be held accountable for all the shit we say
Gm
Been dreamin' of demons and burnin' houses
Eb Cm
Burnin' ounces, stressed, I won't say a word about it
Gm
I met a man who had it all, but he wished he'd let it go
Eb
He said he failed to get it all he had to sacrifice his soul
Gm
Highs and lows come and go, but the pain is the pain
Eb Cm
If the pain ain't easier to change, then he'll remain the same
Gm
I keep havin' these bad thoughts, stuck in old patterns
Eb C
Relive the past daily, I can hear my soul shatter
Gm Dm
The man told me I must believe in somethin'
Eb Cm
And if I don't the past'll catch me, I won't see it comin'
Gm
Why does the heart desire when we are in need of nothin'?
Eb C
And all the things that we acquire take the freedom from us, That's real
[Chorus]
