Capo on Fret 2
[Verse]
GShe's all layed up in bed with a broken heart
D/F#While i'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar, and we don't know how
EmHow we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
CTrying to make it work, but man these times are hard
GShe needs me now but I can’t seem to find the time
D/F#I got a new job now on the unemployment line, and we don't know how
EmHow we got into this mess is it God's test?, Someone help us ‘cos we’re doing our best
CTrying to make it work but man these times are hard
[Chorus]
But we’re gonna start by Emdrinking old cheap bottles of wine
CSit talking up all night,
GSaying things we haven’t for a while
D/F#A while yeah
You’re sEmmiling but we’re close to tears,
CEven after all these years
GWe just now got the feeling that we’re meetiDng
For the first time
GOoooooooooh
D/F#Ooooooooooh
EmOoooooooooh
COoooooooooh
[Verse]
GShe’s in line at the door with her head held high
D/F#Well I just lost my job, I didn’t lose my pride, and we both know how
EmHow we’re gonna make it work when it hurts, when you pick up yourself up you get
kicked to the dirt
CTrying to make it work, but man these times are hard
[Chorus]
But we’re gonna start by Emdrinking old cheap bottles of wine
CSit talking up all night,
GDoin’ things we haven’t for a while
D/F#A while yeah
You’rEme smiling but we’re close to tears,
CEven after all these years
GWe just now got the feeling that we’re meetiDng
For the first time
GOoooooooooh

C(We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting
For the first time)
GOh these times are hard, end up making us cD/F#razy
Don’t give up on me baby
