[Verse 1]
 
Bm                 E
It doesn't have to be this way
Bm                 E
    Just count the hours
Bm                 E
    Cos when your bed is made
                    A
Then baby it's too late
F#m     Bm
Yeah...
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bm                      E
There's no hope for the hungry child
Bm                 E
    Whose joker is wild
Bm                E
    They take all hope away
                       A
And by the end of the day
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m
Well I just about have enough of the sunshine
Dmaj7                    A
Hey! What did I hear you say?
Dmaj7                        A
You know, it doesn't have to be that way
Dmaj7                      A
You! When you walk out the door
             Dmaj7
You're gonna ask for more
             F#m           Bm
You're gonna ask for more
 
[Verse 3]
 
Bm                  E
It doesn't have to hurt that way
Bm                E
   Just count the pain
Bm                     E
   You've only got yourselves to blame
                 A   F#m   Dmaj7
For playing the game
 
[Verse 4]
 
Dmaj7                   A
There's no hope for the hungry child
Dmaj7               A
     Whose joker is wild
Bm
     And they take all hope away
       E
And I just can't see the sense
                A
And my minds a haze
 
[Chorus]
