THE STRUGGLE IS REAL CHORDS
[Start] [Intro] Em G D Am Em ■ ■ ■ Struggle's real ■ G D Am ■ So real ■ [Verse] Em G D ■ Five am comes early jacking Folgers in his cup Am Em He wakes her up and lays her clothes out and packs her lunch G Got to rush to catch the school bus Am Ponytails and toothbrush Am Sometimes it seems it's too much Em He waves goodbye then he sighs G Twelvehour days and barely getting by A7 Am Em Her mama working third shift and he hopes she ain't back getting high G On a slippery slope slowly slip into a pit Am D Am Hanging off her dear life losing grip but he refused to quit [Chorus] C D Em I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel C D Em ■ Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills C D G Em You wanna leave that single white trailer in the hollow for a house up on the hill D You don't care how they feel C 'cause the struggle is real D Em I ■ know the struggle is real [Verse] G She's almost forty and still dancing on that brass pole D Am Em Customers are disrespectful manager's an asshole G Her greater goals overshadow all the sorrows D Am Five am will take forever few more minutes 'til tomorrow Em G Not enough dollars in her garter for their house of dreams D Am7 Am Em Run into the dressing room slams the door and starts to scream G Where she wants to be in life is still a distant image D Am At her wit's end still is infinite story hasn't ended [Chorus] C D Em I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel C D Em ■ Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills C D G D Em You wanna leave that single white trailer in the hollow for a house up on the hill D C You don't care how they feel C 'cause the struggle is real D Em I know the struggle is real [Inst] G Em D Am7 C Em Em7 Gmaj7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Em7 D Am Em ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] D He walks outside and throws his tools into his pickup truck C Em Looks up and smiles see her Altima is pulling up D Her weight is lifted her door's open and he knows she's sober C Em He grabs the holder she finds comfort underneath his shoulder Em As they embrace all of their worries are erased D C Em Because together they can face all the obstacles in place Em Pulls out of the holler to go make an honest dollar D C Paid dues won't lose smile through the blues of blue collar [Chorus] D Em I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel C D Em ■ Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills C D G D Em You wanna leave that single white trailer in the hollow for a house up on the hill D C You don't care how they feel D 'cause the struggle is real C D Em I see the look in your eyes and I know just how you feel C D Em ■ Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills C D G You wanna leave that single white trailer in the hollow for a house up on the hill Em D You don't care how they feel C D 'cause the struggle is real Em I know the struggle is real [End]
