The Hard Things

CHORUS G D C
Why do the hard things fall to me?
When do I get a chance to be what I want to be?
Why am I drowning in responsibility? C Em Am
I wanna run, wanna run away….
But I missed my chance, I missed my chance today….
To be free…. To be free.

VERSE 1 C G Am Em D
I toyed with optimism today. C G Am Em
But in conclusion, it’s just another twisted game we play.
I can’t make that empty glass half full.C G Am Em
Imagined hope just makes me feel more like a fool.

VERSE 2 C G Am Em D
Day is done, Stood up for just one more date.C G Am Em
And my friends still wonder, why I seem to hesitate.
My self-worth created in their eyes.C G Am Em
Is the prize worth all this f***** do or die?

CHORUS REPEAT

BRIDGE Am C G D
Lost a friend today.
I’m real d***** good at finding all the wrong words to say.
And as she walked away,
I said to myself.

CHORUS REPEAT 2x
