There ain't no bread in the bread box
E
Because we ain't got no dough
E
It's seems like we ain't got enough time
E
To go fool around no more
E
You been working so hard for oh so long
E A
What do you got to show?
E
Open up your eyes little darling
A
Lets pack up your things and go
E
Open up your eyes little darling
A
Don't want to be here no more
E
Open up your eyes little darling
A
Been here for 'bout too long
E
Open up your eyes little darling
A B E
It's time to move along

Late in December, on a cold winter day,
E
I just finished bringing wood into the kitchen
A B
When I heard my Amanda say
F#m
She said "Elijah,
G#m
You better look around.
F#m G#m
Things ain't like they used to be.
A G#m
Times is getting hard for you and me.
F#m B
Come on daddy, it's time to shake things down."
CHORUS
Way down in the heart of the city and I'm up in my flat
Trying to make it through the night with my child in my lap
And with the world upon my back.
I said sweet thing,
You better hold me tight,
Things ain't like they used to be,
Times are hard for you and me,
Come on baby, it's time to make things right.
Later in the city, ain't got nothin' to eat,
Right there I made a fortune,
She nearly ?????
I said, Delilah,
You'd better look around
Things ain't like they used to be.
Times is getting hard for you and me.
Come on daddy, it's time to shake things down.
