Eb
When I was a kid and I had no money
Ab
That stuff didn't bother me because I had potential
There was always a tomorrow
Eb
Always something Better Than Today
Eb
Now I'm not a kid and you know what's funny?
I don't feel so grown-up
Eb
I only feel afraid these days
And now here comes that tomorrow and I only
Eb
Want to run away
[Chorus]
GmAb
So don't pick on me
BbCm
Don't give me your shit, don't give me your shit
GmAb
We've all got problems
BbCm
We're living with it, we're living it
GmAb
Just keep on going
BbCm
And that is the trick, that is the trick
GmAb
And I think I think I think I think
BbEbDbEb
I think I think too much
[Verse]
Eb
When I was a kid, well my dad made money
Damn, we hardly saw him
Ab
My brother'd say the same thing too
Oh Daddy, Daddy, Daddy where were you?
Eb
Where were you when we needed you?
Eb
But you play the hand you get and you worry some
You make the best of a situation
Ab
I'd probably do the same as you
I would too, I would too
Ab
You got to hang onto each other
Eb
Hold onto what we got and not let go
No, no, no!
[Chorus]
GmAb
Don't pick on me
BbCm
Don't give me your shit, don't give me your shit
GmAb
We've all got problems
BbCmBb
We're living with it, we're living with it
GmAb
Just keep on going
BbCm
And that is the trick, that is the trick
GmAb
And I think I think I think I think
Bb
I think I I I...
[Middle 8]
GmCm
I'm doing my best here
AbBb
C'mon and give me a break, give me a break
GmCm
It's all I can do now
AbBb
It's all I can take, it's all I can take
GmCmAbBb
I get so downhearted, I do
GmCmAbBb

GmAbBbGmAbBb
Oh I do, I do

And that is the trick, that is the trick
