[Verse 1]
   Em    BmI got it bad, You don't know how bad I got it.
BmYou got it easy, You don't know when you got it good.
BmIt's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together.
BmI'm sick of fighting, even though I Cknow I sGhouldn't.

My broken C#mspirit is Efrozen to the Bmcore.   
     Asus4/DI Don't wanna be here no more.
[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7Wouldn't it be Bbgood to Gmbe in yCour shoes,
Fmaj7even if it Bbwas for jGmust one Cday.
Fmaj7And wouldn't it be Bbgood, if Gmwe could wCish ouAmrselves aDmway.
Fmaj7Wouldn't it be Bbgood to Gmbe on Cyour side.
Fmaj7The grass is always Bbgreener Gmover tChere.
Fmaj7Wouldn't it be Bbgood, if Gmwe could lCive witAmhout a cDmare.
[Verse 2]
   Em    BmYou must be joking, You don't know a thing about it.
BmYou've got no problem, I'd stay right there if it were you.
BmI got it harder, You couldn't dream how hard it got it.
BmStay out of my shoes, If you Cknow what's Ggood for you
GThe heat is stifling, F#mburning me up from C#mme inside.
The sweat is C#mcoming thru Eeach and every Bmpore.
     Asus4/DI Don't wanna be here no more.
     I Don't wanna be here no more.
     I Don't wanna be here no more.
