  That I ain’t gonna die
Eb            -Fm-
  All that I want
Ab              -Cm-
  Is a hole in the ground

Chorus:
     Fm
Hard times
                      Cm
Gonna make you wonder why you even try

Hard times
                        Ab
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
      Fm
These lives
                           Cm
And I still don't know how I even survive

Hard times, Hard times

And I gotta get to rock bottom

Verse:
Eb     -Fm-
  I'm walking around
Ab         -Cm-
  With my little raincloud
Eb                 -Fm-
  Hanging over my head
Bb     Ab   
  And it ain’t coming down
Eb      -Fm-
  Where do I go?
Ab           -Cm-
  Gimme some sort of sign
Eb             -Fm-
  Hit me with lightning!
Bb     Ab   
  Maybe I’ll come alive

     Fm
Hard times

Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
      Fm
These lives
                           Cm
And I still don't know how I even survive
     Eb           Ab
Hard times, Hard times

And I gotta get to rock bottom

I think that the intro sounds like this (don’t take my word for it though I’m not sure if I was in tune)
A | – – – – – – – | – – – – – | – – – – – | – – – – –
E | – – 1 – 3 – | – – 2 – 0 | – – 1 – 3 | – – – – –
C | – 0 – 0 – – | – 3 – 3 – | – 0 – 0 – | – 3 1 5 1
G |- – – – – – – | – – – – – | – – – – – | – – – – –

-3 with a capo on fret 3 is easiest :)
aaahahah

i’m ninety nine percent sure that’s not in key. to make it easier and actually IN key, press “-1” and put a capo on the first fret. it sounds super good.
