Ok, so the other version seemed a little off to me. There’s no need for a capo. 
Chords By: Jason Persilver
C/G Cmaj7 Am F
C/GThese times will try hard to define me
Cmaj7And I'll try to hold my head up high
AmBut I've seen despair here from the inside
FAnd it's got a one track mind
C/GAnd I have this feeling in my gut now
Cmaj7And I don't know what it is I'll find
AmDoes anybody ever feel like,
FYou're always one step behind?
CHORUS:
C/GNow I'm sitting alone here in my bed
I'm waiting for an Cmaj7answer I don't know that I'll get
I cannot stand to Amlook in the mirror I'm failing
I'm telling you Fthese times are hard but they will
C/GAnd I know there's someone out there somewhere
Cmaj7Who has it much worse than I do
AmBut I have a dream inside, a perfect life
FI'd give anything just to work
FIt's like I'm only trynna dig my way out
