A She's all layed up in bed with a broken heart E While i'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar, and we don't know how F#m How we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration D Trying to make it work, but man these times are hard She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time I got a new job now on the unemployment line And we don't know how How we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best Tryna make it work, but, man, these times are hard But we're gonna start by Chorus: F#m But we’re gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine D Sit talking up all night, A Saying things we haven’t for a while E A while yeah F#m You’re smiling but we’re close to tears, D Even after all these years A E We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting For the first time She's in line at the dole with her head held high While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride And we both know how How we're going to make it work when it hurts When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt Tryna make it work, but, man, these times are hard But we're gonna start by Chorus: Drinking old cheap bottles of wine Shit talking up all night Doing things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah We're smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time Drinking old cheap bottles of wine Shit talking up all night Saying things we haven't for a while We're smiling but we're close to tears Even after all these years We just now got the feeling that we're meeting For the first time A Ooooooooooh Yeah, for the first time E Ooooooooooh Oh, for the first time F#m Ooooooooooh Yeah, for the first time D (We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting For the first time) A E Oh these times are hard, end up making us crazy Don’t give up on me baby F#m D Oh these times are hard, end up making us crazy D Don’t give up on me baby A E Oh these times are hard, end up making us crazy Don’t give up on me baby F#m D Oh these times are hard, end up making us crazy D Don’t give up on me baby | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#m  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
