D# Fm
All that I want
G# Cm
Is to wake up fine
D# Fm
Tell me that I’m alright
Cm G#
That I ain’t gonna die

All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it's alright
For me to come out

Chorus:
      Fm
Hard times
                       Cm
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
      D#
Hard times
                         G#
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
       Fm
These lives
                           Cm
And I still don't know how I even survive
      D#          G#
Hard times, Hard times
    Cm
And I gotta get to rock bottom

Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain't coming down

Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
You hit me with lightning!
Maybe I'll come alive

Chorus

Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground

Chorus - x2

Hard times
Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder
Hard times
Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how
I survive
And I gotta get to rock bottom (Oof)
