G         B7                 Em      Dm7  F/G
  Well, I know you got your troubles

C              C/D             G    C/G  G
  But I've got problems of my own

B7                     A/C# B7/D# Em7
  It's all relative you see,       what happiness should be

A7sus            A7           D7sus   D7
  And we got to work it out alone

G          B7           Em     Dm7  F/G
  I know about your situation

C        C/D                 G    C/G  G
  And I know all about your pain

B7                  A/C#        B7/D#  Em7
  But you know it's true, though it's no comfort to you

A7sus         A7                 D7sus    D7
  Into each life must fall some rain
[Chorus]
G         D                 C    F C  F C
  We all have our cross to bear

G         D                C        F C  F C
  We all walk in darkness sometimes

G           B7                 Em  Em/D  A
  Though I know it don't seem fair

C7       D7sus              F/G  C/G  G
  We all have our cross to bear

G             B7              Em   Dm7  F/G
  You know I hate to see you cry

G              B7               G     C/G  G
  Because I've had my share of tears

B7                    A/C# B7/D# Em7
  Though it may sound cruel,     you know I'd be a fool

A7sus         A7              D7sus   D7
  To let it slide a few more years,   listen

G        B7              Em      Dm7  F/G
  I just got to have my freedom

C         C/D                   G     C/G  G
  And if that's giving you the blues

B7                    A/C#       B7/D#     Em7
  That's the price you pay, Lord, there ain't no other way

A7sus                      A7                 D7sus
  But to get down on your knees and pay your dues

        D7
'Cause don't you know
[Chorus]
G         D                 C    F C  F C
  We all have our cross to bear

G         D              C        F C  F C
  We all knuckle under sometimes

Oh, everybody gets his share

C7       D7sus              F/G  C/G  G
  We all have our cross to bear

  And if that's giving you the blues
