[G] All these times are hard, [E] yeah, they're making [F#] us [G] crazy
Don't give up on me, [D] baby
[Em] All these times are hard, [Bm] yeah, they're making [C] us crazy
[Bm] Don't give up on [Gm] me, baby
She's
[G] all laid up in bed with a broken heart
[F#] Well, I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local [D] bar
[Bm] And we don't [E] know how, how we got into this mad situation
Only [Em] doing things [Bm] out of [C] frustration
Trying to make it work, but man, these times are hard
She [G] needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
I [F#] got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't [D] know [E] how, how we got into this mess
Is it God's test?
Someone help us, cause we're doing our best
[C] Trying to make it work, but man, these times are hard
But we're gonna stop [Em] by
Drinking on cheap [C] bottles of wine
Sit talking up [G] all night
Saying things we haven't for [D] a while, a while, [Em] yeah
Smiling, but we're [C] close to tears
Even after all these [G] years
We just now got the feeling [D] that we're meeting for the [G] first time
Ooh,
[D] ooh,
[Em] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[C]
[G] Jeans in line at the door with her head held high
[Bm] Well, I just [D] lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
[Bm] And we both [Em] know how, how we're gonna make it work
When it hurts, when you pick yourself [E] up, you get kicked to the [C] dirt
Trying to make it work, but man, these times are hard
But we're gonna [Em] stop by
Drinking on cheap bottles of [C] wine
Sit talking up all [G] night
Doing things we haven't [D] for a while, a while, [Em] yeah
Smiling, but we're close to [C] tears
Even after all these [G] years
We just now got the feeling [D] that we're meeting for the [G] first time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [D] ooh
[Em]
[C]
[Em] Drinking on cheap [C] bottles of wine

Even after all these [G] years
We just now got the feeling [D] that we're meeting for the [G] first time
For the [D] first time
For the [Em] first time
Yeah, for the [C] first time
