Les Jours Tristes

Gm    Eb                      Gm
It s hard, hard not to sit on your hands
    Eb                    Gm
And bury your head in the sand
Eb                     Gm
Hard not to make other plans
Eb                                 F        Eb
And claim that you ve done all you can all along
    F            Eb
And life must go on
     Gm    Eb                          Gm
It s hard, hard to stand up for what s right
    Eb                        Gm
And bring home the bacon each night
Eb                         Gm
Hard not to break down and cry
     Eb                     F              Eb
When every idea that you ve tried has been wrong
        F       Eb
But you must go on


     Bb           F                   Gm
It s hard but you know it s worth the fight
      D                             Bb
Cause you know you ve got the truth on your side
         F           Gm        D
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Bb        F                     Gm
Don t be afraid of what they ll say
D                             Bb
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
          F              Gm       D
They will understand one day, one day


     Gm    Eb                         Gm
It s hard, hard when you re here all alone
    Eb                     Gm
And everyone else has gone home
Eb                        Gm
Harder to know right from wrong
     Eb                F              Eb
When all objectivities gone, and it s gone
        F           Eb
But you still carry on
      Gm   Eb                   Gm
Cause you, you are the only one left
    Eb                         Gm
And you ve got to clean up the mess
    Eb                       Gm
You know you ll end like the rest
Eb                    F             Eb
Bitter and twisted, unless you stay strong
        F     Eb
and you carry on


     Bb           F                   Gm
It s hard but you know it s worth the fight
      D                             Bb
Cause you know you ve got the truth on your side
         F           Gm        D
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Bb        F                     Gm
Don t be afraid of what they ll say
D                             Bb
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
          F              Gm       D        Gm
They will understand one day, one day, one day
