A
You gotta live
You gotta love
You gotta be somebody
You gotta shove
            D
But its so hard, its very hard,
B7           E7              A
sometimes I feel like goin' down

You gotta eat
You gotta drink
You gotta feel something
You gotta worry
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down

D
But when it's good
It's really good
And when I hold you in my arms baby
B7           E7              A
Sometimes I feel like goin' down

You gotta run
You gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
