Bm [Verse]Bm Well my feet are tiredA And my back is soreG And my body’s achingA And my hands are rawBm And my eyes are drowsyA And my mouth is dryG And I feel so aliveA That I could almost dieBm ‘Cos my pockets are draughtyA From the rent so steepG And my arms are shakingA From the lack of sleepBm And my mind is meltingA As my blisters burstG But my grin is endlessF# ‘Cos it could be worse [Chorus]G So I drop to my kneesD And give thanks to the LordA For the rising tuitionD I can barely affordG I’m so happy to liveD In the land of the freeA Free to pay higher tuitionBm So I can succeed [Verse]Bm I got a class in the morningContinúa después del anuncioA I gotta study at noonG I gotta work in the eveningA And an essay due soonBm I got a test on the morrowA And a quiz in an hourG And a bill overdueF# For the phone and the power [Verse]Bm I got a girl who’s upsetA Yeah, she thinks I’m a jerkG ‘Cos I cancelled our plansA To get called into workBm And my heart is breakingA As I face my curseG But my grin is endlessF# ‘Cos it could be worse [Chorus]G So I drop to my kneesD And give thanks to the LordA For the rising tuitionD I can barely affordG I’m so happy to liveD In the land of the freeA Free to pay higher tuitionBm So I can succeed [Verse]Bm So I ride my bikeA Ride right up to my doorG I will climb up the stairsA And look for work tomorrowBm ‘Cos the clock in the kitchenA Reads a quarter to threeG Now tomorrow is todayF# In the land of the free [Verse]Bm So I climb in my bedA And try to forgetG That come Summer I’ll work three jobsA Just to pay down my debtBm But they gotta go slaveA I’ll remember that firstG And my grin will be endlessF# ‘Cos it could be worse [Chorus]G So I drop to my kneesD And give thanks to the LordA For the rising tuitionD I can barely affordG Oh I'm so glad that I getD Some hair on my chestA And I get to build characterD Passing this testG Oh I’m so happy to liveD In the land of the freeA Free to pay higher tuitionBm So I can succeed
