D                                G             D 
I've tried for a long time but I think I can't win
                                        A
I'd do it all better if I could do it again
    D                       G            D
Wherever I'm going it's the same place I been
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
                          G         D
Outside it was hot but inside I am cold
                                          A
The eyes of the young met the eyes of the old
      D                          G        D
And what they were thinking I'll never be told
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
                                    G            D
Then an old lady asked me bout this new daylight time
                                            A
I said it don't matter and she said I don't mind
         D                         G        D
Then the bus driver said you still owe me a dime
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
                          G            D
I can't get no job and I can't get no rest
                                   A
I started out east and I ended up west 
        D                      G             D
And I'm so glad to be here I'm sure, I would guess 
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
                               G          D
I might have to leave you, I think's what she said
                                        A
Wish I could sleep 'stead of tossing in bed
      D                           G          D 
And I find myself thinking I'd be better off dead
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
            A          D
Ain't it a cold, cold world
