people downcast, is despair
G5
see the disillusion everywhere 
F5
hoping their bad luck will change
C5
gets a little harder every day 


C5
people struggle, people fight
G5
for the simple pleasures in their lives
F5
but trouble comes from everywhere
C5
it's a little more than you can bear

D5 
I know that it will break your heart
C5
the way things are
G5
and the way they've been
C5
and the way they've always been 


C5
people shallow, self-absorbed
G5
see the push and shove for their rewards
F5
I, me, my is on their minds
C5
you can read about it in their eyes 


C5
people ruthless, people cruel
G5
see the damage that some people do
F5
full of hatred, full of pride
C5
it's enough to make you loose your mind 


A5
I know that it will hurt
D5 
I know that it will break your heart
C5
the way things are
G5
and the way they've been
A5
I know that it will hurt
D5
I know that it will break your heart
C5
the way things are
G5
and the way they've been

with your own life

you never will let love survive
