D
I can hound you, if I need too.
Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe in the
 G     F        D
corner. In the corner.
          Em                      Bm
While the others climb, reaching dizzy heights, the
 G                         A#         C
world's in front of me in black and white.
            D          F
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on
     D          F
the bottom line.

I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck
Ooh! Lucky losers, lucky losers landing on skid row
Landing on skid row
While the Diamond Jims and the Kings road pimps
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes
I'm on the bottom line
I'm on the bottom line

Chorus:
Gm                Dm           A#     C        F
And I gotta get a meal ticket. To survive you need a meal ticket, to stay
  Am             Dm           Gm                    F
alive you need a meal ticket. Feel no pain, no pain. No regret, no regret.
          C                          A#           Gm
When the line's been signed, you're someone else. Do yourself a favor, the
Am                    Dm
meal ticket does the rest.

Shake a hand if you have to
Trust in us and we will love you anyway, anyway
Don't leave us stranded in the jungle
With fifty percent that's hard to handle
Ain't that so?
Ain't that so?

Chorus:
And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive, you need a meal ticket
To stay alive, you need a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no pain
No regret, no regret
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
Meal ticket

(Gotta get a meal ticket)

Chorus:
And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive, you need a meal ticket
To stay alive, you need a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no pain
No regret, no regret
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest

Meal ticket
Meal ticket
Meal ticket
Meal ticket
Meal ticket
