Cold cold world

Capo 1

VERSE 1
C Am
As we started out I thought it was going well
C
It can be hard to tell
Am
In with my manager for a contract review
C
We’re very happy with you
But you know how things are going
And there’s just know way of knowing
Am
I’m afraid for you
C
We just can’t renew

CHORUS
Am G C
It’s a cold cold, cold cold cruel world x2

VERSE 2
After all this time the only place I fit
Is on benefit
It was with some trepidation that I went online
For a very long time
Filling out the form
A cross examination
For what seemed like an age
I’m on the final page
Then the pop-up message box says alas
System crash

CHORUS

VERSE 3
I pinned my hopes to the promise of a tax return
I never learn
A river only flows one way
Still a man can pray
And as the laden letter hit the mat
I read it back
Unfortunately, we’re informing you…

CHORUS

MIDDLE
C Em Am
Now I know what it’s like
Dm G
To lose what I took for granted

Now I know what it’s like
To be on the other side

Now I know what it’s like
