She's all layed up in bed with a broken heart
D
While i'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar, and we don't know how
Em9
How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration
Cadd9
Trying to make it work, but man these times are hard

G
She needs me now but I can’t seem to find the time
D
I got a new job now on the unemployment line, and we don't know how
Em9
How we got into this mess is it god's test?, Someone help us ‘cos we’re doing our best
Cadd9
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

                         Em9
But we’re gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Cadd9
Sit talking up all night,
G
Saying things we haven’t for a while
D
A while yeah

        Em9
You’re smiling but we’re close to tears,
Cadd9
Even after all these years

We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting
D
For the first time

G
She’s in line at the door with her head held high
D
Well I just lost my job, I didn’t lose my pride, and we both know how
Em9
How we’re gonna make it work when it hurts, when you pick up yourself up you get
kicked to the dirt
Cadd9
Trying to make it work, but man these times are hard

                        Em9
But we’re gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Cadd9
Sit talking up all night,

Notes:

On the pre chorus the Em9 looks like this
e|-------3-------------------|
B|------3--------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|-----2---------------------|
A|----2----------------------|
E|---------------------------|

When Mark plays his D he add his thumb on the top E string, and towards the end of while 
he's playing the Cadd9 looks like this.\

e|---------------------------|
B|------3--------------------|
G|--------4------------------|
D|-----2---------------------|
A|----3----------------------|
E|---------------------------|

Strumming is all down strokes until the end where they sing the final part when they 
sing "All these Times Are Hard.........." They use a mixture of up and down strokes. Just 
watch Mark play that part and you should be able to work it out.
