[Verse 1]

G                            C                  G
 Off work in the morning and up at the crack of dawn
G                              C            G
 All my money worries wherever I go come along


[Pre-chorus]

C                    Em                D
Worry’s a bully that just won’t let me be
C                           Em              D
 Trying to keep me busy, tussling and struggling


[Verse 2]

G                  C                G
 No home since the fire, me and the ash can’t settle down
G          C                    G
 Unsure of where I’m bound so I sink another round
G                             C             G
 Placebo for pain and there’s no one for to blame
G                           C              G
 I refuse to accept that my work is all in vain


[Pre-chorus]

C                    Em                D
Worry’s a bully that just won’t let me be
C                            Em              D
 Trying to keep me busy, tussling and struggling

[Chorus]

G                                 D
Still always remembering when the going gets tough
         Em           D           C               G
That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
G                                 D
Still always remembering when the going gets tough
         Em           D           C               G
That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough

[Verse 3]

G                    C             G
Man’s never alone if he can offer help
G                           C              G
Always thinking of everyone else before himself


[Pre-chorus]

C                     Em                D
 Worry’s a bully that just won’t let me be
C                            Em              D
 Trying to keep me busy, tussling and struggling


[Verse 4] (same as verse 2)
G                  C                G
 No home since the fire, me and the ash can’t settle down
G          C                    G
 Unsure of where I’m bound so I sink another round
G                             C             G
 Placebo for pain and there’s no one for to blame
G                           C              G
 I refuse to accept that my work is all in vain

[Pre-chorus]

C                    Em                D
Worry’s a bully that just won’t let me be
C                            Em              D
 Trying to keep me busy, tussling and struggling


[Chorus]

G                                 D
Still always remembering when the going gets tough
         Em           D           C               G
That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
G                                 D
Still always remembering when the going gets tough
         Em           D           C               G
That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
