G           G/F#              Em7          D
They told me that I couldn’t come back here again

Cadd9       Cadd9/B      Asus4   D
Took me for some kind of fool

G           G/F#              Em7          D
Said I was doing things that never should be done

Cadd9       Cadd9/B      Asus4   D
But I don’t care about their rules

Em                      C
As if I cared ‘bout the little minds

G                          G  G/F# Em7
In the little heads of the herd

Em                  C
There’s nothing you could dream

        G
Would be more absurd

G           G/F#              Em7          D
And everybody knows these are rock hard times

Cadd9       Cadd9/B     
I gotta make it through

Asus4      D               G
These are rock hard times

Em                              C
I don’t know what it is they’re trying to do to me

G                      G  G/F#  Em/7
Make me into some sick joke

Em                          C
But no one’s laughing, and least of all not me

C                          G
It’s hard to laugh as you choke
Hollywood lies piled up to the sky Floating your way soon Hope you like the rotten stench of doom And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times Solo:

I don’t know what it is they think I’m gonna try They don’t know what they need to fear The surest sign that the end is coming soon Is right there in the bathroom mirror And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times These are rock hard times
