[E] [B] From [E] one friend to another it seems that something's been bothering you [Bm] if you've got a [E] minute
Maybe [D] there's something that I can say or do
[E]
See, I realize [B] that life has its [E] changes and sometimes things just don't go, right?
[Bm] But here's one [A] thing.
I want you to think about as you [E] lie in the bed tonight
when the whole world
[Em] [A] seems against [E] you
and your whole [D] life [A] seems unborn
[G] [Em] And all you [F#m] ever wanted
Was [E] a little peace
I can understand just how you feel
But a little [D] bit of peace of
[A] [E] mind
Nowadays [D] it's so hard to [A] find
[D] [G] You can't even [F#m] find it
in [E] your sleep
Here's some advice that I think you should keep and baby
Don't let this cold world get you down
Be strong, hold on
Don't let this cold world get [A] you [G#m] down
[F#m] Don't let it get you [E] down, no
Cold, cold world
Get you down
[Bm] Cold, cold world
Get you down, no Listen
[E] Dry your [Bm] eyes, don't cry [A] no more
[E] What in the world [Bm] do you think that a friend is for?
[G] [Em] See, there's [F#m] always something
that we [E] can do
Me and you
So when [D] things don't always [A] go your way
[E] You've got to [D] prepare yourself [A] each and every [G] day
For [Em] the [F#m] things that life will [E] put you through
I'm telling you
Will you listen to me?
Don't let this cold world get you down
When times are hard and friends are few
Don't let this cold world get you down
[A] Don't let [G#m] it get the best [F#m] of you
[E] Don't let it get the best of you
Don't do it
Get you down
[Bm] Cold, cold world
Get you down
I know the road sometimes seems rough
[E] And the going gets a little tough
[Bm] Cold, cold world
But hold on Hold [A] on
[G#m] I [F#m] wonder what'll happen to
[G#m] [A] Oh baby
[G#m] The [F#m] happy face that I once [G#m] knew
[A] You [E] can't let [F#m] nothing
You [G#m] can't let [A] nothing
Nothing [G#m] ever [B] bother you No
[E] [B] [C#m] Get you down
Don't [Bm] let this cold, cold world
Get you down Hold [E] on Be [B] strong
[E] Get you down

Get you down
