                    G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times
                    G    Em    C
I haven't known what to do
                        G    Em    C
I spend my days here in line
                        G    Em    C
Just waiting for something new

D                     C
 From fireworks and peaches
D                     C
 To weed, speed and bluegrass
D
 From buses that burn
     C
And barns that lean down
   Am               C
As far as my memory reaches

                      G    Em   C
Since I fell on hard times
                    G    Em    C
I haven't known where to go
                           G    Em    C
I thought I might have seen a sign
                    G    Em    C
With the first dust of snow

D                    C
 But it added up to nothing
D                     C
 And now I'm no longer sure
      D          
If my prayers are just a habit
       C
Or if I'm just a fool
    Am                        C
For thinking life ain't worth living
                   G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times

| G Em | C C |

Am
And no one knows
     Em
Just what lay in store
Am
No one knows
     Em
Just what we're in for
         D
No one knows
         Am    C
Nobody knows...

                      G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times
                     G    Em    C
I haven't known right from wrong
                        G    Em    C
But lord knows I've been trying
               G    Em    C
To find where I belong

D                     C
 I keep dreaming bare branches
D                       C
 On these air patrolled highways
   D                          C
I guess it just comes from living life alone
  Am                         C
In these hotels shaped like ashes

                     G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times
                          G    Em    C
I ain't been feeling that good
                          G    Em    C
I tell the world that I'm fine
                       G    Em    C
I'd change it all if I could     (Yeah, I would)

D                         C
 I sold my green leather jacket
D                         C
 In front of the Piedmont cafe
     D                         C
And ever since then I've been looking for someone
   Am                      C
To help while these days away
                            G    Em    C
Yeah, since I fell on hard times

| G Em | C C |

Am
And no one knows
     Em
Just what lay in store
Am
No one knows
     Em
Just what we're in for
         D
No one knows
         Am
Nobody knows
      Bm
Nobody knows
           Am         C
Who'll be the next to go

                     G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times
                    G    Em    C
I can't believe what I've seen
                       G    Em    C
To live such a different life
                       G    Em    C
Than the one that you dreamed

D                   C
 It's all part of a story
D              C
 But it has no end
     D                     C
From fortunes that turn to reasons we find
   Am                C
To live it all over again
                     G    Em    C
Since I fell on hard times - repeat
