Verse 1:
G
You keep telling me
G
To climb this ladder
G
I've got to pay my dues
C
But as I rise
C
The stakes get higher
G

I've got the capitalist blues
       D
And if I give everything
D                          G
I won't have much more to lose

Verse 2:
G
I am swimming in an ocean of sharks
G
They are telling me how I'm gonna make
G
My little mark
C
In this cold, cold world
                 D
It can be such a cold, cold world

Verse 3:
G
You keep telling me to go a little higher
G
Try to take a different view
C
But you can see
C
I'm not inspired
G
I've got the capitalist blues
       D
And if I give everything
                          G
I won't have much more to lose

Verse 4:
G
It's not fair, it's not right
G
I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life
G
It's not fair, it's not right
G
I wasn't born to just endure all this strife
G
Tryna make my way
        C
In this cold, cold world
                 D
It can be such a cold, cold world
