E          A


(Verse)
    E                            A
The other day I caught myself complaining
       E                            A      
How my boss has got me working over time
         E                              A
Then the stranger who was sitting there beside me
        E                                 A
Said, I spent all day in the unemployment line
          C#m
Are there open shifts, are they hiring on
          A 
I'll work any hours even all night long
   E                                B
If you could put a good word in for me


(Chorus)
     E         
Everytime you think you got it bad
        A
You can find someone who's got it worse
        E 
All the things you take for granted now
     A
They started out as blessings first
       C#m                        B
If you got someone who loves you
      A               G#m                 F#m
And a steady job that puts food on the table
G#m                  A     B
If you're strong and able
        E         A,  E   A
Man, be grateful


(Verse)
   E                                  A 
We complain about how much it's gonna cost us
            E                             A
To fill our 20 something thousand dollars cars
    E                              A  
And living in the land of milk and honey
        E                           A 
It's so easy to forget how lucky we are
       C#m
We can work hard and buy a patch of dirt
       A
And on Sunday morning go to church
    E                                               B  
And pray for those who don't have it as good as you


(Chorus)
     E         
Everytime you think you got it bad
        A
You can find someone who's got it worse
        E 
All the things you take for granted now
     A
They started out as blessings first
       C#m                       B
If you got someone who loves you
      A               G#m                 F#m
And a steady job that puts food on the table
G#m                  A     B
If you're strong and able
        A  G#m  F#m  E
Man, be grateful

(instrumental)
A  G#m  F#m  E      B


(Chorus)
     E         
Everytime you think you got it bad
        A
You can find someone who's got it worse
        E 
All the things you take for granted now
     A
They started out as blessings first
       C#m                       B
If you got someone who loves you
      A               G#m                 F#m
And a steady job that puts food on the table
G#m                  A     B
If you're strong and able
        E     A,              E         A,           E         A,   E    A,       E   
Man, be grateful,    Yeah I'm grateful,    Oh Man be gra... tefu............l
