(Slash/Eric Dover/Duff McKagan)
Well I know, you couldn¹t love me
Cause you¹re promised to a wealthy man
Take a look, what are you seein¹ ?
Is that a noose or a wedding band
Should I go to see a healer
Nervous twitchin¹ in my hands
Nervous twitchin¹ in my head
God help me rid this feelin¹
Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces
And I cna¹t get out of bed
Beggars and hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible in his pocket
Clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end is here to stay
God help me rid this feelin¹
Cause I¹m fallin¹ all to pieces
And I can¹t get out of bed
I was wrong
I don¹t need you
It seems reckless
And unfair
Better days
Are far behind
Guess that¹s another cross
I¹ll have to bear
I know that there¹s a time
and a reason
To take the ghost and lock it up inside
And maybe I am down
But I¹m not beaten
Like anything
We were born to die
Beggars and hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible in his pocket
Clouding everything you see
Beggars and hangers-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end is here to stay
Beggars and hangers-on
Beggars and hangers-on
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
