[Verse 1]
Ab5
 I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
Ab5
 You got it easy, you don't know when you got it good
Ab5 (add7)
 It's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together
Ab5 (add7)               A            E
 I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I shouldn't


[Bridge]
Eadd9                    Ebm            Bbm
 The cold is biting thru each and every nerve and fibre
Bbm                  Db            Abm
 My broken spirit is frozen to the core
Bsus2                     [ Dmaj9         G5 ]
  I don't wanna be here no more
                          (Wouldn’t it be good ...)


[Chorus]
Dmaj9          G5      Em9    A
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Dmaj9      G5      Em9      A
Even if it was for just one day
    Dmaj9          G5       Em9       A      F#7-9   Bm
And wouldn't it be good, if we could wish ourselves away

Dmaj9          G5      Em9   A
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
    Dmaj9           G5      Em9  A
The grass is always greener over there
Dmaj9          G5       Em9      A        F#7-9 | Bm | Bm C# |
Wouldn't it be good, if we could live without a care


[Verse]
Ab5
 You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it
Ab5
 You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if I were you
Ab5 (add7)
 I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard I got it
Ab5 (add7)                 A               E
 Stay out of my shoes, if you know what's good for you


[Bridge]
Eadd9                     Ebm             Bbm
 The heat is stifling, burning me up from me inside
Bbm                       Db             Abm
 The sweat is coming thru each and every pore
Bsus2
 I don't wanna be here no more
[ Bsus2 ]
 I don't wanna be here no more
[ Bsus2 ]
 I don't wanna be here no more
