(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
[Intro]
G  B7  |  Em Em/D  A    |  C  C/D  | C/G  G   |
 
[Verse 1]
G         B7                 Em      Dm7  F/G
  Well, I know you got your troubles
C              C/D             G    C/G  G
  But I've got problems of my own
B7                     A/C# B7/D# Em7
  It's all relative you see,       what happiness should be
A7sus            A7           D7sus   D7
  And we got to work it out alone
G          B7           Em     Dm7  F/G
  I know about your situation
C        C/D                 G    C/G  G
  And I know all about your pain
B7                  A/C#        B7/D#  Em7
  But you know it's true, though it's no comfort to you
A7sus         A7                 D7sus    D7
  Into each life must fall some rain
 
[Chorus]
G         D                 C    F C  F C
  We all have our cross to bear
G         D                C        F C  F C
  We all walk in darkness sometimes
G           B7                 Em  Em/D  A
  Though I know it don't seem fair
C7       D7sus              F/G  C/G  G
  We all have our cross to bear
 
[Interlude]
G   B7   | Em  Em/D  A     | C7   C/D  |  F/G C/G G      |
 
[Verse 3]
G             B7              Em   Dm7  F/G
  You know I hate to see you cry
G              B7               G     C/G  G
  Because I've had my share of tears
B7                    A/C# B7/D# Em7
  Though it may sound cruel,     you know I'd be a fool
A7sus         A7              D7sus   D7
  To let it slide a few more years,   listen
G        B7              Em      Dm7  F/G
  I just got to have my freedom
C         C/D                   G     C/G  G
  And if that's giving you the blues
B7                    A/C#       B7/D#     Em7
  That's the price you pay, Lord, there ain't no other way
A7sus                      A7                 D7sus
  But to get down on your knees and pay your dues
        D7
'Cause don't you know
 
[Chorus]
G         D                 C    F C  F C
  We all have our cross to bear
G         D              C        F C  F C
  We all knuckle under sometimes
G         B7             Em  Em/D  A
Oh, everybody gets his share
C7       D7sus              F/G  C/G  G
  We all have our cross to bear
 
[Interlude]
G   B7   | Em  Em/D  A     | C7   D7sus  |  F/G C/G G      |
 
[Verse 4]
G            B7              Em      Dm7  F/G
  Oh, I just got to have my freedom
C         C/D                   G     C/G  G
  And if that's giving you the blues
B7                    A/C#       B7/D#     Em7
  That's the price you pay, Lord, there ain't no other way
A7sus                      A7                 D7sus
  But to get down on your knees and pay your dues
        D7
'Cause don't you know
 
[Chorus]
G         D                 C    F C  F C
  We all have our cross to bear
G             D                C         F C  F C
  Oh, we all walk in darkness sometimes
G           B7            Em  Em/D  A
  Oh, everybody gets his share,    mmm
C7             D7sus                   F C    G7
  'Cause we all have our cross to bear
