Fmaj7 Bb Gm C A Dm
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
I got it bad, You don't know how bad I got it.
Bm
You got it easy, You don't know when you got it good.
Bm
It's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together.
Bm C G
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I shouldn't.
G Gbm Dbm
The cold is biting thru each and every nerve and fibre.
Dbm E Bm
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.
Asus4/D
I Don't wanna be here no more.
[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C
even if it was for just one day.
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C A Dm
And wouldn't it be good, if we could wish ourselves away.
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side.
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C
The grass is always greener over there.
Fmaj7 Bb Gm C A Dm
Wouldn't it be good, if we could live without a care.
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
You must be joking, You don't know a thing about it.
Bm
You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if it were you.
Bm
I got it harder, You couldn't dream how hard it got it.
Bm C G
Stay out of my shoes, If you know what's good for you
G Gbm Dbm
The heat is stifling, burning me up from me inside.
Dbm E Bm
The sweat is coming thru each and every pore.
Asus4/D
I Don't wanna be here no more.
I Don't wanna be here no more.
I Don't wanna be here no more.
