There were lean times, [A] they were tough [E] There were mean times, [A] they were rough
[E] And the good times did not weigh [B] the bad [E] I was sad, [A] you were bitter
[E] But you were [A] no quitter [E] When nothing was all that we had

[E] Or maybe throwing [B] the towel Make up, [A] have a kid
[E] Break up, [A] and we did [E] But only just for a while
