G D G

[Verse 1]
   G                C                G
Children say that words will never harm you
  G               C                  D
Only sticks and stones will make you cry
 C                                         G                                     
But they'll grow up one day and learn the real truth
 G                       D          G
When the one that they love says goodbye


[Chorus]
  C                             G
The hardest part of living is loving
                                      D
'Cause loving turns to leaving every time
           C                         G
And the hardest part of leaving is living
          C                  Em  C
Life is hard when love is so unkind
  G                 D           G
Life is hard when love is so unkind


[Verse 2]
 G                   C          G
I don't trust old sayings any longer
 G                       D
Most are only decorated lies
   C                                  G
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
 G                       D           G
And out of sight don't mean out of mind



[Chorus]
 C                              G
The hardest part of living is loving
   G                                   D
'Cause loving turns to leaving every time
           C                         G
And the hardest part of leaving is living
          C                  Em  C
Life is hard when love is so unkind
 G                 D          G
Life is hard when love is so unkind
