Am  Dm  G  C  Am  Dm  G

[Verse 1]
C              F
Lord I've seen happier days
G               C
Haven't we all, so anyway
C                F
Since we're just hanging around
G                      C
Let's hit the town and start drinking
C                  F
Lord knows there's people out there
G                 C
Who ain't exactly walking on air
C                F
Heart aches been going around
    G                       C
But when I get down I start singing

[Chorus]
Am             Dm
Lord knows its hard out there
G           C
At times confusing and hell
Am              Dm
Lord knows I've seen my share
   G
Of losing out

[Verse 2]
C          F
Lord I'm surrounded by friends
   G                     C
We know what its like to know how it ends
C                F
Which is why I'm buying a round
     G                        C
Otherwise I am bound to start thinking

[Solo]
C  F  G  C  (x2)

[Chorus]
Am             Dm
Lord knows its hard out there
G           C
At times confusing and hell
Am              Dm
Lord Knows I've seen my share
   G
Of losing out

[Verse 3]
C               F
Things will get better I know
G                    C
How do I know? Where else could it go
C                F
Heart aches been going around
    G                       C
But when I get down I start singing
C        F
La la la la la la la
G           C
La la la la Oh oh oh oh
