[Am]It's a pity it's a [Em]crying shame
[Am]Who pulled you [Em]down again
[Am]How painful [Em]it must be
[Am]To bruise so [Em]easily [D]inside
[Am]It's a pity it's a [Em]downright crime
[Am]It happens [Em]all the time
[Am]You want to stay little [Em]daddy's girl
[Am]You want to hide from the [Em]vicious world [D]outside[G7]
[C]Don't cry[G]
You know the [Am]tears will do no [Em]good
So dry your [F]eyes[G]
Oh, your [Am]daddy he's the [Em]iron man
[Am]A battleship wrecked [Em]on dry land
[Am]Your mamma she's a [Em]bitter bride
[Am]She'll never be [Em]satisfied you [D]know
And that's [G]not right[G7]
But [C]don't cry[G]
You know the [Am]tears will do no [Em]good
So dry your [F]eyes[G]
Oh, [C]they told you [G]life is hard
[Am]Misery [Em]from the start
It's [F]dull it's [C]slow it's [D]painful[G7]
But, [C]I tell you [G]life is sweet
[Am]In spite of the [Em]misery
There's [F]so much [C]more be [D]grateful
Well, [F]who [C]do you be[D]lieve?
[F]Who will you listen [C]to who will it [D]be?
Because it's [F]high [C]time that you de[D]cide
In your [G]own mind
[Am]I've tried to [Em]comfort you
[Am]I've tried to [Em]tell you to be [D]patient
That [D7]they are blind and they can't see
[Am]Fortune gonna [Em]come one day
[Am]They're all gonna [Em]fade away
[Am]Your daddy the [Em]war machine
[Am]And your momma the [Em]long and [D]suffering
[G]Prisoner of what she can not [C]see
SOLO:
[C] [G] [Am] [Em]

It's [F]dull it's [C]slow it's [D]painful[G7]
But, [C]I tell you [G]life is sweet
[Am]In spite of the [Em]misery
There's [F]so much [C]more be [D]grateful
So, [F]who [C]will you be[D]lieve?
[F]Who will you listen [C]to who will it [D]be?

But, [C]I tell you [G]life is short
[Am]Be thankful [Em]because
[F]Before you [C]know it will be [D]over[G7]
'Cause life [C]is sweet[G][Am][Em]
