[Verse 1]
[C#m*] I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
[C#m*] You got it easy, you don't know when you got it good
[C#m*] It's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together
[C#m*] I'm sick of fighting, even [D*] though I know [A] I shouldn't
[A] The cold is biting through [G#m] each and every [D#m] nerve and fibre
My broken [D#m] spirit is [F#] frozen to the [C#m] core 
(vocal note now goes down from one tone - from G to F# - notes for this line are F# to B)

[Dadd4] Wouldn't it be 
[C] good to [Em7/A-x02030]be in [Em/A-02000]your [D] shoes .. [Dadd4] even if it 
[C] was for [Em7/A-x02030] just one day [D] .. [Dadd4] And wouldn't it be 
[C] good, if [Em7/A-x02030]we could [Em/A-02000]wish [D] ourselves [D] a

[Dadd4] Wouldn't it be 
[C] good to [Emadd4] be on your [D] side ..[Dadd4] The grass is always 
[C] greener [Emadd4] over there [D] [Dadd4] Wouldn't it be 
[C] good, if [Emadd4] we could live [D] without [D*] a care 
[Em] [Em]             [Em] [F#]
 
[Verse 2]
[C#m*] You must be joking, You don't know a thing about it
[C#m*] You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if I were you
[C#m*] I got it harder, You couldn't dream how hard I got it
[C#m*] Stay out of my shoes, If you know [D*] what's good [A] for you
[A] The heat is stifling, [G#m] burning me up from [D#m] me inside
The sweat is [D#m] coming through [F#] each and every [C#m] pore
