[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)

[Chorus 1 - Sometimes Cadd4 figure add snare on all hits] 
[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 
[Em] way (riff 022000 x 022000 x - x 000000 x 000000 - 022000)

[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

Everybody
                Abmaj7
Don't want no war, No,
G7+5
No no no
                             Cm7
We're too young to die,
(Too young to die!)
 
F7
So many people,
                      Abmaj7
All around the world, yeah
                        G7+5
(All around the world)
                              Cm7
Seen their brothers fry.
(I seen your brother fry)
                    F7
What's the motive?
           Abmaj7
In that madness.
       G7+5                                    Cm7
Oh, I wish I knew, you made my people cry
(You made my people cry)
        F7
So politicians
 
This time
                                              Abmaj7
I think you'd better keep your distance
        G7+5
Say, sing it loud
 
We're too young to
 
 
[Chorus] x4
Cm7         Dbm7

I wish I knew
          Abmaj7   G7+5
To our problems
                                  Cm7
I think we've gone too high
(I think we've gone too high)
        F7
Little children
                   Abmaj7
Never said a word, now
                                  G7+5
You know they never said a word
                           Cm7
Still they have to die
 
Well I'm asking why
                 F7
It won't be long
 
No, no, no
                        Abmaj7
Dancing like we do, yeah
                 G7+5
Oh, like we do, now
                         Cm7
To put this sad world right
(I gotta Do it right)
                    F7
So don't you worry
                                        Abmaj7    G7+5
People, we don't have to suffer no more
 
Cause we're too young to

[Bridge]
Cm7
All gone when we drop the bomb
 
Can the politicians reassure?
            F7
Cause here I am
 
Presuming that
 
Nobody wants a war
                 Abmaj7
There's so many people praying
          G7+5
Just to find out if they're staying
      Cm7
But lately stately governments
 
And disillusioned leaders
     F7
So full of empty promises
 
But rarely Do they feed us
             Abmaj7
Put our backs against the wall
     G7+5
Or don't we count at all?
                Cm7
Can you decide
 
Are you mesmerised?
 
Do you know which side you're standing?
              F7
Cause when it falls
 
Gon' take us all
 
Gotta know what we're demanding
 Abmaj7
I never lie
 
Can't you hear the cry
             G7+5
Coming from on high:
 
We're too young to die!
 
 
[Chorus] x8
Cm7          Dbm7
Do-do-do-doo
          Abm7         Bbm7
Da-da-do da-da-doo
