Hard Way

G

[Verse 1]
G               D
When I tried to love
Em            C
It was just a song
C         G       D   G
Something I could not say     Strum the C once
G                D
Couldn't call it off
Em               C
Couldn't make it last
C     G        D    G
So, I took the hard way       Strum the C once


[Verse 2]
G                  D
Something that you said
Em             C
I could not forget
C      G    D  G
Set it into motion           Strum the C once
G           D
Hiding as a glow
Em           C
Quiet and so slow
C         G   D  G
Shattered my illusion        Strum the C once


[Refrain]
   D      C
If I only knew               Strum the D once. All other notes 4 times.
               Em
Half as much as you
           Am       C
I would be amazing, hazy     Each C strum gradually slower tempo


[Verse 3]
G            D
If I stop to be
Em             C
Long enough to see
C            G        D   G
The life and death of one day
G           D
Heavy in my heart
Em          C
Honey in my head
C      G        D    G
When I took the hard way

[Solo]
Same chords as the refrain
Strum the D once. All other chords 4 times.

D      C
Em
Am     C


[Verse 4]
G              D
If I lost your hand
Em             C
I know I could stand
C       G       D  G
Without your protection
G              D
Just because I know
Em                C
Doesn't mean I'll go
C        G      D    G
It would be the hard way
