As recorded by Lucinda Williams (From the 2026 Album WORLD'S GONE WRONG) [Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
G                                        Cadd9
They get up every morning and they go to work

G                         Cadd9
He sells cars and she's a nurse

   Em             D              Cadd9
Workin' long hours is the devil's curse

G                                         Cadd9
Things are gettin' tight, but it could be worse
[Verse 2]
G                            Cadd9
She tries hard to ignore the news

G                                   Cadd9
Nothing makes sense and she gets confused

  Em              D              Cadd9
Between what is false and what is true

        G            D         Cadd9
And she worries they won't get through
[Chorus]
Cadd9                      G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong

Cadd9                 G
Dark days are getting long
Caadd9 G Looking for comfort in a song
                D                Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G               D           Cadd9       G D G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
[Verse 3]
G                         Cadd9
They can see what's going down
G Caadd9 Empty houses all over town
Em          D         Cadd9
So many lost are never found

    G                       Cadd9
And bad, bad signs are all around
[Verse 4]
G                                Cadd9
A lot of people being put on the street

             G                   Cadd9
It's gettin' harder to make ends meet

   Em                    D       Cadd9
He comes home every night feelin' beat

    G                                Cadd9
And wonders how long he can take the heat
[Chorus]
Cadd9                      G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong

Cadd9                 G
Dark days are getting long

Cadd9                    G
Looking for comfort in a song

                D                Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
[Guitar Solo] Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em D Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 5]
G                             Cadd9
She stares out the window and shakes her head

G                                  Cadd9
She can't believe the things she's read

    Em           D            Cadd9
She can't believe what's being said

     G                         Cadd9
Some days she can't get outta bed
[Verse 6] G Caadd9 She hopes this won't last forever
    G                               Cadd9  Em
She needs to believe it's gonna get better

             D                 Cadd9
It's getting hard to keep it together

G                             Cadd9
They need each other now more than ever
[Chorus]
Cadd9                      G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong

Cadd9                 G
Dark days are getting long

Cadd9                    G
Looking for comfort in a song

                D                Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
[Interlude] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 7]
G                              Cadd9
She holds him tight and softly smiles

       G                       Cadd9
Says, "Baby, let's put on some Miles"

Em            D               Cadd9
And dance barefoot across the tiles

           G            D            Cadd9
And forget our troubles for a little while
[Outro]
G         D                 Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G         D                 Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G         D                 Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G         D            Cadd9
Baby, the world's gone wrong

G         D            Cadd9
Baby, the world's gone wrong

G         D                 Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G         D                 Cadd9
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
