B     F#       B
They're winning
  E                       B
I know it's not fair, but what is?
    Abm       Bbm
I'm giving up hope
     B                C#m
I've stood in line so many times
            F#              B
How could I do it all again

B      F#       B
They're starting
   E                 B            
To run out of steam , fall to their knees
    Abm           Bbm
The headaches and worries
    B          C#m
And crying and bills to pay
              F#                 B
How could they keep it up so long
