[Verse 1]
E  C#m                    E
   Here come the chemicals
C#m              G#                   A  G#  A
 It's a bit of a nightmare, now isn't it?
E  C#m               E
   Reform the rituals
C#m               G#                   A  G#  A
 But you wanted a life fair now didn't ya


[Chorus]
E               G#
Life is hard and I'm a coward
    A              F#
And if I could I'd drown for hours
E              G#
I can't escape I can't be dour so
A               G#
We can wait and mourn the power

   Hey did ya see the lights
C#m                  G#             A        G#  A
 This is all that we talked of come yesterday
E  C#m                        E
   Just when the feelings right
C#m                    G#       A            G#  A
 They will all just go bad in a different way


[Chorus]

Life is hard and I'm a coward

We can wait and mourn the power
E               G#
Life is hard and I'm a coward
    A              F#
And if I could I'd drown for hours
E              G#

C#m                       B               A
 So far from everyone I'd turn this back around
C#m                             B              A
 I'd leave this house again and burn it to thе ground (to the ground)
