Eb
When I was a kid and I had no money
                                              Ab
That stuff didn't bother me because I had potential

There was always a tomorrow
                               Eb
Always something Better Than Today

Eb
Now I'm not a kid and you know what's funny?

I don't feel so grown-up
Eb
I only feel afraid these days

And now here comes that tomorrow and I only
              Eb
Want to run away

[Chorus]

Gm                Ab
So don't pick on me
       Bb                        Cm
Don't give me your shit, don't give me your shit
Gm                Ab
We've all got problems
         Bb                   Cm
We're living with it, we're living it
Gm             Ab
Just keep on going
      Bb                  Cm
And that is the trick, that is the trick
 Gm                 Ab
And I think I think I think I think
   Bb                     Eb Db Eb
I think I think too much

[Verse]

Eb
When I was a kid, well my dad made money

Damn, we hardly saw him
                       Ab
My brother'd say the same thing too

Oh Daddy, Daddy, Daddy where were you?
                               Eb
Where were you when we needed you?

 Eb
But you play the hand you get and you worry some

You make the best of a situation
                     Ab
I'd probably do the same as you

I would too, I would too
Ab
You got to hang onto each other
                              Eb
Hold onto what we got and not let go

No, no, no!

[Chorus]

Gm            Ab
Don't pick on me
       Bb                        Cm
Don't give me your shit, don't give me your shit
  Gm             Ab
We've all got problems
        Bb                   Cm      Bb
We're living with it, we're living with it
 Gm             Ab
Just keep on going
      Bb                 Cm
And that is the trick, that is the trick
    Gm                Ab
And I think I think I think I think
   Bb
I think I I I...

[Middle 8]

 Gm             Cm
I'm doing my best here
           Ab              Bb
C'mon and give me a break, give me a break
 Gm            Cm
It's all I can do now
         Ab               Bb
It's all I can take, it's all I can take
 Gm    Cm    Ab     Bb
I get so downhearted, I do
 Gm    Cm    Ab     Bb
I get so downhearted
Gm Ab Bb Gm Ab Bb
Oh I do, I do

 Gm             Ab
We've all got problems
       Bb                    Cm Bb
We're living with it, we're living it
Gm             Ab
Just keep on going
      Bb                   Cm
And that is the trick, that is the trick
  Gm                   Ab
And I think I think I think I think
   Bb             Cm
Too much, I know I do
   Gm                 Ab
I think I think I think I think
     Bb
I think I'm just like you
 Gm Ab Bb
I, I, I do

That stuff didn't bother me, oh no
