[Verse 1]
Em
Gotta live more than you're dying
G
Gotta laugh more than you're crying
A Em
Didn't anybody tell you that the end is coming soon?
Em
It's never too late to let it go
G
But you're never gonna learn if you don't know
A B
That if the creek don't rise, the roses ain't gonna bloom
[Chorus]
G Em
In these strange days indeed
A G Em
When you don't know what to believe
G Em
In these strange times, I swear
A B
Right now, it's just all too much to bear
Em
Lord, I swear
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Em
Grind yourself down to the bone
G
What you reap is what you've sown
A Em
But what the hell's the matter with the noose around your neck?
Em
Yeah, you can drink or you can pray
G
You can fantasy another day
A B
Or have a hell of a time with the time that you've got left
[Chorus]
G Em
In these strange days indeed
A G Em
When you don't know what to believe
G Em
In these strange times, I swear
A B
Right now, it's just all too much to bear
Em
Lord, I swear

[Verse 3]
Em
You ain't special, you ain't blessed
G
Just a stressed-out fucking mess
A B
Just like her, like him, like us, like me and them
[Chorus]
G Em
In these strange days indeed
A G Em
When you don't know what to believe
G Em
In these strange times, I swear
A B
Right now, it's just all too much to bear
[Chorus]
A G Em
Lord, these strange days indeed
A G Em
When you don't know what to believe
G Em
In these strange times, I swear
A B
Right now, it's just all too much to bear
[Outro]
Em
Lord, I swear
