BEGGING FOR CHANGE
As recorded by Brantley Gilbert feat. Jelly Roll
(2026 release)
Capo 4th fret
Intro
[Em] [D] [Cmaj7] [D] [Em]
Verse 1
[Em]
I saw him begging for some change
[D]
Out there standing in the rain
[Cmaj7] [D] [Em]
With a torn-up T-shirt, holes in his jeans and his boots
[Em]
He turned around, I saw his face
[D]
Well, I’ll be damned, I know his name
[Cmaj7] [D] [Em]
We came up in the same grade back in school
[Cmaj7]
Man, he was the shit back then
[Cmaj7]
Another kid just raising hell
[D]
Had the Jordans ‘fore they hit the shelf
[Cmaj7] [D]
Had to ask him, damn man what happened to you?
[D]
And he said
Chorus
[Em]
Nobody wakes up one morning
[D]
Like this is what I always wanted
[Cmaj7]
To be living for the next fix
[D]
Kind of broke you can’t fix
[Em]
Homeless and homesick
[D] [Em]
And tired of the bullshit and I
[Em]
Wasn’t born or raised this way
[D]
I know I need amazing grace
[Cmaj7] [D]
But I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Cmaj7] [D]
I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
Verse 2
[Em]
I got a hundred dollar bill
[D]
It could help or it could kill
[Cmaj7] [D]
It might buy a night with a bed and a roof
[Em]
What if I throw a lifeline
[Em]
And he ties a noose
Chorus
[Em]
Nobody wakes up one morning
[D]
Like this is what I always wanted
[Cmaj7]
To be living for the next fix
[D]
Kind of broke you can’t fix
[Em]
Homeless and homesick
[D] [Em]
And tired of the bullshit and I
[Em]
Wasn’t born or raised this way
[D]
I know I need amazing grace
[Cmaj7] [D]
But I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Cmaj7] [D]
But I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Instrumental Break]
[Em] [D] [Cmaj7] [D] [Em]
Bridge
[Cmaj7]
You know me well enough to know
[D]
I’ve had some demons of my own
[Cmaj7]
But let’s get you sober, let’s get you some help
[D]
This battle ain’t over, you ain’t by yourself
[Out-Chorus]
[Em]
Nobody wakes up one morning
[D]
Like this is what I always wanted
[Cmaj7]
To be living for the next fix
[D]
Kind of broke you can’t fix
[Em]
Homeless and homesick
[D] [Em]
And tired of the bullshit and I
[Em]
Wasn’t born or raised this way
[D]
I know I need amazing grace
[Cmaj7] [D]
But I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Cmaj7] [D]
But I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
[Em]
I ain’t begging for money
[Em]
I’m begging for change
