The other day I caught myself complaining
E A
How my boss has got me working over time

Then the stranger who was sitting there beside me
E A
Said, I spent all day in the unemployment line

Are there open shifts, are they hiring on
A
I'll work any hours even all night long
E B
If you could put a good word in for me
E
Everytime you think you got it bad
A
You can find someone who's got it worse
E
All the things you take for granted now
A
They started out as blessings first
C#m B
If you got someone who loves you

And a steady job that puts food on the table

If you're strong and able
E A, E A
Man, be grateful

And living in the land of milk and honey

It's so easy to forget how lucky we are

We can work hard and buy a patch of dirt

And on Sunday morning go to church

And pray for those who don't have it as good as you

Everytime you think you got it bad

You can find someone who's got it worse
