[Intro]
E5 E5 A5 E5  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
E5
Feel her low
                  A5 E5
Goin' down slow
E5
Make it quake
                          A5 E5
And make her body shake
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A5
 Tryin' to hold you down
 
They can't push you 'round
D5/A
   They try to hold you back
A/C#
Gettin' on the right track
 
 
[Chorus]
E5
 Hard times, blue and sad
                       A5 E5
 Don't you cross the line
E5
Run, run, make it fun
                 A5 E5
Freein' up the time
 
 
[Verse 2]
E5                                 A5 E5
Heart a-pumping, feet are jumpin'
E5                                 A5 E5
This hard loving keeps me running
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A5
 They try to hold you down
 
But they can't push you 'round
D5/A
 Tryin' to hold you back
A/C#
Gettin' on the right track
 
 
[Chorus]
E5
Hard times, blue and sad
                       A5 E5
Don't you cross the line
E5
Run, run, make it fun
                  A5 E5
 Freein' up the time
E5
Hard times, get on time
                   A5 E5
Throw me down the line
E5
Hard times, get on line
                  A5 E5
Make a grown man blind
