D5                                G5             D5  
I've tried for a long time but I think I can't win 
                                        A5 
I'd do it all better if I could do it a-gain 
    D5                       G5            D5 
Wherever I'm going it's the same place I been 
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world 
 

                         G5         D5 
Outside it was hot but inside I am cold 
                                          A5 
The eyes of the young met the eyes of the old         
      D5                          G5        D5 
And what they were thinking I'll never be told 
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world 
 

                                    G5            D5 
Then an old lady asked me bout this new daylight time 
                                            A5 
I said it don't matter and she said I don't mind 
         D5                         G5        D5 
Then the bus driver said you still owe me a dime 
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world 
 

                         G5            D5 
I can't get no job and I can't get no rest                 
                                  A5 
I started out east and I ended up west  
        D5                      G5             D5 
And I'm so glad to be here I'm sure, I would guess  
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world 
 

                               G5          D5 
I might have to leave you, I think's what she said 
                                        A5 
Wish I could sleep 'stead of tossing in bed 
      D5                           G5          D5  
And I find myself thinking I'd be better off dead 
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world 
            A5              D5 
Ain't it a cold, cold world
