               Bm    Em
When you are winning
               D                   A
When you are winning, I'm with you
                 Bm    Em
I'm sun and springing
                   D              A
Yeah, sun and springing's what I do
                Bm       Em
And I'm your best friend
                  D                 A
Yeah, I'm your best friend, I pretend
              Bm      Em
Just like a new trend
                   D                A
You know this friendship will soon end
(CHORUS)
                   Bm
'Cause when the hard times are coming
          Em
My true colors show
             D
And what I give you is nothing
               A
I say, you're on your own
                   Bm
'Cause when the hard times are coming
          Em
I'm the first to run
              D
So for the hard times
A
 You know you're on your own

Bm     Em     D     A
(VERSE)
             Bm       Em
You made a bad stroke
             D                               A
You made a bad stroke, you should have known
                      Bm     Em
'Cause I'm all for smalltalk
               D                          A
If you want smalltalk then pick up the phone
                    Bm       Em
And I'll be your best friend
             D                     A
Well, at least now for a little while
                 Bm          Em
But don't go around the bend
              D                        A
'Cause I can only stand you when you smile
(CHORUS)
                   Bm
'Cause when the hard times are coming
          Em
My true colors show

And what I give you is nothing
               A
I say, you're on your own
                   Bm
'Cause when the hard times are coming
          Em
I'm the first to run
              D
So for the hard times
A                         G
 You know you're on your own
(POST-CHORUS)
A             Em
 Just like a sinking stone
G               A
 A friend in need is
Bm
 a friend indeed
              Em
That's what I've been told
G                   A
 But a friend like me
                     F#m
lacks that heart of gold
(BUILD-UP)
                   Bm                 Em
'Cause when the hard times are coming
             D                 A
And what I give you is nothing
                  Bm                 Em
Yeah, when the hard times are coming

 You know you're on your own

I'm the first to run
              D
So for the hard times
A                         Bm
 You know you're on your own
Em                     D
 Just like a sinking stone
A                       Bm
 I say, you're on your own
Em            D
 Just like a sinking stone,
A
 yeah
(OUTRO)
            Bm                 Em

what I give you is nothing
