B        C#m           B           C#m
It ain’t easy sometimes, trying to just get by
B        C#m           B           C#m
When you get broken down again, it ain’t because you didn’t try
B        C#m           B           C#m
I try to count the days that I’ve been disappointed
B        C#m           B           C#m
So many hard times, it gets disjointed

[PreChorus]
         B    G#m              B       G#m
But it’s hard trying to make a living
         B        G#m    F# E  D#m C#m            B
When you get down again and you just keep giving

[Chorus]
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B           C#m
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground

B   C#m (repeat 3 more times)

[Verse]
B        C#m           B           C#m
I tried my best to make my way but it wasn’t enough
B        C#m           B           C#m
Desire burns when your dreams are close to touch
B        C#m           B           C#m
I’m working for the man till it gets dark
B        C#m           B           C#m
But the hardest part is starting from the start

[PreChorus]
         B    G#m              B       G#m
But it’s hard trying to make a living
         B        G#m      B         G#m
When you get down again and you just keep giving

[Bridge]
   C#m     D#m      C#m    D#m    C#m    D#m
Giving away everything, giving away everything

E        F#
Trying to just get by

[Chorus]
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground

B   C#m (repeat 3 more times)

C#m     D#m      C#m    D#m    C#m    D#m
E        F#

[Chorus]
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
B     C#m    G#m                E     D#m   C#m     B
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground
