Chorus (Intro):
         G
When the well runs dry
        C
There's no need to cry
     G                                  D7
Just hold your head up high and have no fear
           G
There will be another day
C
Things will go your own way
        D7                    G
'Cos it only gets better from here.

The boss said "Man you work too damn slow"
        G               C        G
Feelin' forty-one goin' on fifty-four
             C           D7              G
It's time to pack up and head on out the door.

Gotta sell the house 'cos the bills are overdue

The road always seems to run uphill too far

Gotta start livin' in the back seat of a car.
