Strum
D-DU-UDU
Are  you happy with your life?
 You make just enough to scrape  by
 You pay the rent, that you just spent
Less  than a week ago
 You wasted all your pay and you dont
 remember where  it went  all, now.
 the lead part:
D|---9-7-6-------6-----|
A|---------9-7-9---9---| Play this 8 times
Tired  and broke, can't pay  the rent.
What  can bring her so  much pain?
They  can't build her self-esteem.
How  can this  be, happening?
You  might have the temporary, superficial happiness
 that you  buy with money you don't have.
Do  you tell yourself, this is just the first time,
 Maybe the last  time when you chance  your circumstance
Life  is not a job or a career.
Living  is not smoking and drinking beer
You  can't play with Sarah, not today,
 You may  think it's yours, it's yours,  it's yours  to be.
