The Hardest Part

[Intro] G

[First Part]

  C
I thought that everybody gets older
      Em7
But I guess that's not the case
           G
'Cause you said goodbye to your 
family last night
         D
You were only twenty-eight
        C
And the year is gonna get a lot 
colder
           Em7
But you'll always be stuck in June
         G
When the trees turn red, will it hit
 me then
     D
That I'm not gonna see you soon?
 G
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

D                 C              
 I never said goodbye, and now 
           Em7
it's sinking in
              G                 
That the last time I saw you, we 
      D
were kids
                    C              
I guess the hardest part of getting
 Em7
 old
             G                   
Is that some people that you love 
       D
don't

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
        C
Yeah, I thought that evеrybody gets 
better
      Em7
But I guеss that's not the truth
       G
Took a drive last night, tried to 
clear my mind
      D
But I turned the whole highway blue
      C
Yeah, I cried when I read
    Em7
The last text that you sent
            G
'Cause I'll never see those three 
dots there again

[Chorus]

             C                     
I never said goodbye, and now it's 
        Em7
sinking in
              G                 
That the last time I saw you, we 
      D
were kids
                    C              
I guess the hardest part of getting
 Em7
 old
             G                   
Is that some people that you love 
       D*
don't

[Bridge]

And I don't know what to
C
Say to your little brother
Em7
Who am I to say, "It's gonna be 
okay"?
G
My mom is friends with your mother
D                                 
Catching up is never gonna be the 
C
same

No more text on your birthday
Em7                               
Every time another friend says 
  G
your name
                         D
No, I don't know what to say

[Chorus]

             C                     
I never said goodbye, and now it's 
        Em7*
sinking in
              G*                
That the last time I saw you, we 
      D*
were kids
                    C*             
I guess the hardest part of getting
 Em7*
 old
             G*
Is that some people that you love 
don't
D                   C            
I wish I would have tried harder 
           Em7
to stay in touch
                     G             
I thought we had more time, too 
          D
busy growing up
                    C              
I guess the hardest part of getting
 Em7
 old
             G                   
Is that some people that you love 
       D
don't

[Ending]

     C                          
Some people that you love don't
Em7  G  D

     C
Some people that you love don't

[Ending] Em7  G  D
