[Intro]
D D/C# Bm A G D x2

[Verse 1]
D D/C# Bm A
Howard drives a minivan to the cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale
G A D
And it's been that way since 1994
D D/C# Bm A
Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone
G A D
I didn't ask but I can tell he's from New York
Bm D G D
And he spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she'd be in college
Em A Bm
And that he always wished he'd gotten his degree
Bm D G D
You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling
Em A D
And somehow I'm the one you people pay to see

[Chorus]
G D
Oh isn't that just the way it goes
A Bm
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
G D
Oh how am I the only one who knows
Em A D
I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D

[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm A
Danny showed up early fifteen minutes till five thirty
G A D
Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight
D D/C# Bm A
He said he'd love to fix computers, but that he can't until he's fluent
G A D
So he spends his driving money taking class at night
Bm D G D
He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt and he helps his kids with homework
Em A Bm
And deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself
Bm D G D
Why that at night I'm up on stage, everybody knows my name
Em A D
While Danny's early picking up somebody else

[Chorus]
G D
Oh isn't that just the way it goes
A Bm
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
G D
Oh how am I the only one who knows
Em A D
I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D

[Bridge]
Bm D G D
And now everything's not given, I work hard to make my living
Em A Bm
But I'll give credit where I think credits due
Bm D
Maybe you got dealt a good hand
G D
Maybe you play it the best that you can
Em Bm Em Bm
But I don't know how far you'd walk without those cards
A
In Howard or Danny's working shoes

[Chorus]
G D
But isn't that just the way it goes
A Bm
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated
G D
Oh how am I the only one who knows
Em A D
I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
D D/C# Bm A G D D D/C# Bm A G
