[Verse]


G#                   Cm7     
It gets harder every day, but I 

                           G#
can't seem to shake the pain

                                Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say,
 please stay

G#                       Cm7
It's written all over my face, I 
can't

C#
Function the same when you're not 
here

    Fm
I'm calling your name and no one's 
there
C#                 D#_high          
        G#
And I hope one day you'll see nobody
 has it easy,

              Cm7              
I still can't believe you found 

          C#
somebody new
                   D#_high
But I wish you the best, I guess.


[Chorus]


G#               Cm7             
'Cause everybody knows, that 

          C#
nobody really knows
               Fm       D#_low
How to make it work or how to ease 
the hurt

G#                 Cm7       
We've heard it all before, that 

             C#
everybody knows
               Fm               
D#_low           Bbm   Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave
 it one more try (try)

         G#   Cm7
One more try (try)

         Bbm
One more try
                 D#_low             
      G#
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody 
really knows

[Verse 2]


G#                       
I don’t care what people say, 

Cm7                          G#
they’re probably lonely anyway

                        Cm7        
Baby don’t fill up your head, with 

         G#
he said, she said

                          Cm7
It seems like you just don’t know, 
(don’t know)

C#
The radios on, you tuning me out

    Fm
I’m trying to speak, you’re turning 
me down

C#                 D#_high          
        G#
And I know one day you'll see nobody
 has it easy,

              Cm7              
I still can't believe you found 

          C#
somebody new
                   D#_high
But I wish you the best, I guess


[Chorus]


G#               Cm7             
'Cause everybody knows, that 

          C#
nobody really knows
               Fm       D#_low
How to make it work, or how to ease 
the hurt

G#                 Cm7

               Fm               
D#_low           Bbm   Fm
How to make it right, I wish we gave
 it one more try (try)

         G#   Cm7
One more try  (try)

         Bbm
One more try
                 D#_low             
      G#
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody 
really knows


[Bridge]


Fm              Bbm
Oh I wish you'd understand
Bdim             D#_high
Oh, just an ordinary man

Fm                  Bbm
Wish that we'd have known
D#_high
Everybody knows, but nobody really 
knows
C#                       D#_high    
         G#
And I know one day you'll see, 
nobody has it easy

              Cm7              
I still can't believe you found 

          C#
somebody new
               D#_low
I wish you the best, I guess.
