[Intro 1]
[G][Gsus4][G][F]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I was born
across [Gsus4]the street[G]
From a place they call
[Gsus4]The Blues[G]
[Gsus4]And everything [F]that people [G]tell me
It always seems [Gsus4]to be bad new[G]s[A]
My poor mother 'fore she died
She said, "Things won't ever
[Asus4]change[G][C]
You were born a loser
And all your life, you'll play a game"
I just [G]sat [A]there [G]and I won[A]dered
[Asus4][A][Asus4][A]
Can this really [Asus4]be a[G]
[C]Cold, cold [F]world to [G]me?
Somebody oughta help me
[F]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Everything I thought
[Gsus4]was right[G]
Always turned out to be so [Gsus4]wrong[G]
I had a pretty woman, yes, [Gsus4]I did[G]
She said our love [Gsus4]was so st[C]rong[A]
But [Asus4]I woke up[A] one morning, Lo[Asus4]rd[A]
Tears running down my [Asus4]face[G][C]
A letter laying by my bedside, it read
"Your brother has taken your place"
I just [G]sat there [A]and I
[Asus4]wondered[A]
Can this really be [G]a[A]
[C]Cold, cold [Bb]world to [G]me?
[Bb]Somebody ought[G]a help me,
yeah, [F]yeah

[Verse 3]
[G]Between my [F]drinking an
[G]d my [F]crying[G]
Lord, there's got to be
[Gsus4]a way[F][G]
People [F]talk [Gsus4]about me [F]lik[G]e a dog[F][G]
[F]I feel [Gsus4]everything they [G]say
[A]I'm on a train that's going nowhere
Please change my [G]destiny[C]
Woman, show me just a little love
Take me in off of this dirty [G]street
[A]And I'll stay there and I'll love
[G]you[Asus4][A]
A better man you'll nev
[Asus4]er see[G]
[A]'Cause this [C]is a cold,
cold [G]world to me
