Start Jamming...
[G] It's [Gm] hard, [Eb] hard not to sit on [Gm] your hands
[Cm] And bury your head in [Gm] the sand
[Eb] Hard not to make [Gm] other plans
[Cm] You claim [C] that you've done all [F] you can
All [Eb] along, [F] life must [Eb] go on
[Gm] It's hard, [Eb] hard to stand up for [Gm] what's right
[Eb] And bring home the bacon [Gm] each night
[Eb] Hard not to break [Gm] down and cry
[Eb] When every idea [F] that you've tried has [Eb] been wrong
[F] But you must [Eb] carry on
[Bb] It's hard, but [F] you know it's [G] worth the [Gm] fight
[Dm] Cause you know you've got the [Bb] truth on your side
[F] When the [Gm] accusations of life [D] hold tight
[Bb] Don't [F] be afraid of what [Gm] they'll say
[Dm] Who cares what cowards [Bb] think anyway
They [F] will understand [Gm] one day, [D] one day
[Gm] It's hard, [Eb] hard when you're here [Gm] all alone
[Cm] And everyone else [Gm] has gone home
[Eb] Harder to know [Gm] right from wrong
[Cm] When all [F] objectivity's gone, [Eb] and it's gone
[F] But you still [Eb] carry on
[Gm] Cause you, [Eb] you are the only [Gm] one left
[Cm] And you've got to clean up [Gm] this mess
[Eb] You know you'll end up [Gm] like the rest
[Cm] Bitter and twisted [F] unless
You [Eb] stay [Gm] strong [F] and you carry [Eb]
on
[Bb] It's hard, [F] but you know it's [Gm] worth the fight
[Dm] Cause you know [Bb] you've got the truth on your side
[F] When the [Gm] accusations of life [D] hold tight
[Bb] And don't [F] be afraid of [Gm] what they'll say
[F] Who cares what [Bb] cowards think anyway
[F] They will understand [Gm] one day, [D] one day
