[Verse 1]
           G6
I guess we used to be the lucky ones

      Bm     Gbaug/Bb   Bm/A   Bm/G#
Whose fortune smiles on ev ery one

Em                      Bm
"Stop" a voice said you best beware

Em                 Asus2  A
"Stop" bad luck is everywhere

    G6
And sure enough the voice was right

   Bm   Gbaug/Bb        Bm/A      Bm/G#
My luck had changed the world overnight

Em                   Bm
Stop! Please tell me what went wrong

Em                      Asus2    A
Stop! I can't take these ups and downs
[Chorus]
D                Am6/C
Hard times come, hard times go

G7M                                  A
And in between you hope and pray the scars don't show

       D                      Am6/C
'Cause life is strange and so unsure

    G7M
The days you hardly make it through

   GmM7
You swear that there's a curse on you

      D/A                        Em/A
'Cause nothing seems to fit, and things won't go your way

      D/A                          Em/A
You know you've had enough, you've got the right to say

     D       F/D      C/D    D
"Why Me, why me?"

Em                 Bm
Stop! Here comes anxiety

Em                    Asus2   A     Asus2   A
Stop! Won't you please let me be, I need relief
[Chorus]
D                Am6/C
Hard times come, hard times go

G7M                                  A
And in between you hope and pray the scars don't show

       D                      Am6/C
'Cause life is strange and so unsure

    G7M
The days you hardly make it through

   GmM7
You're sure that there's a curse on you

      D/A                        Em/A
'Cause nothing seems to fit, and things don't go your way

    D/A                               Em/A
You know you've had enough, you can't take another day

    D/A                               Em/A
And where to go and what to do, you've got those bills to pay

D/A                                     Em/A
You're really not alone you know, cause everybody says...

     D       F/D      C/D    D
"Why Me? Why Me?"
