Intro:
Bm 




Verse:
Bm
Well my feet are tired
       A
And my back is sore
       G
And my body’s aching
       A
And my hands are raw
       Bm
And my eyes are drowsy
       A
And my mouth is dry
       G
And I feel so alive 
             A
That I could almost die
        Bm
‘Cos my pockets are draughty
         A
From the rent so steep
       G
And my arms are shaking 
         A
From the lack of sleep
       Bm
And my mind is melting
      A
As my blisters burst
       G
But my grin is endless
        F#
‘Cos it could be worse




Chorus:
     G
So I drop to my knees
         D
And give thanks to the Lord
        A
For the rising tuition
      D
I can barely afford
       G
I’m so happy to live
       D
In the land of the free
        A
Free to pay higher tuition
   Bm
So I can succeed




Verse:
        Bm
I got a class in the morning
        A
I gotta study at noon
        G
I gotta work in the evening
       A
And an essay due soon
        Bm
I got a test on the morrow
      A
And a quiz in an hour
      G
And a bill overdue
        F#
For the phone and the power




Verse:
       Bm (sustain)
I got a girl who’s upset
          A (sustain)
Yeah, she thinks I’m a jerk
       G (sustain)
‘Cos I cancelled our plans 
       A (sustain)
To get called into work
Bm
And my heart is breaking
     A
As I face my curse
       G
But my grin is endless
        F#
‘Cos it could be worse




Chorus:
     G
So I drop to my knees
         D
And give thanks to the Lord
         A
For the rising tuition
      D
I can barely afford
       G
I’m so happy to live
       D
In the land of the free
        A
Free to pay higher tuition
   Bm
So I can succeed




Verse:
Bm (sustain)
So I ride my bike
           A (sustain)
Ride right up to my door
       G (sustain)
I will climb up the stairs 
    A (sustain)
And look for work tomorrow
Bm
‘Cos the clock in the kitchen
        A
Reads a quarter to three
    G
Now tomorrow is today
       F#
In the land of the free




Verse:
     Bm
So I climb in my bed
    A
And try to forget
          G
That come Summer I’ll work three jobs
        A
Just to pay down my debt
        Bm
But they gotta go slave
     A
I’ll remember that first
       G
And my grin will be endless
        F#
‘Cos it could be worse




Chorus:
     G
So I drop to my knees
         D
And give thanks to the Lord
        A
For the rising tuition
      D
I can barely afford
          G
Oh I'm so glad that I get
     D
Some hair on my chest
      A
And I get to build character
D
Passing this test
          G
Oh I’m so happy to live
       D
In the land of the free
        A
Free to pay higher tuition
Bm
So I can succeed
