Standard (EADGBE)

I'm getting sick of everyone I'm with

I'm getting sick of keeping positive

and I'm getting bored of putting on a smile

and I've been so good, but it doesn't do me much good

yeah, I've been good, but it doesn't pay like it should

Lord, It's so hard to keep your head,

when you've got everything to lose

baby just brings bad news as she goes running through

I'm getting sick of cleaning up the mess

and I'm getting sick of this helplessness

and I'm getting bored of feeling insecure

and I'm getting bored of looking at this bedroom door

I'm getting bored of this song she sings that I've heard a million times before

Lord, It's so hard to keep your head,

when you've got everything to lose

baby just brings bad news as she goes running through

Lord, it's so hard to keep your friends

when you own everything you choose

so baby just sings the blues to just anyone who seems to care

Break

blues solo in E, first position at 12th fret.

Lord, It's so hard to keep your head,

when you've got everything to lose

baby just brings bad news as she goes running through

Lord, it's so easy when you're on the floor

when you've got nothing left to lose

so baby just cries for food off anyone who won't refuse.
