The Hard Way

D
Oh, my head
                         A
Lately my eyes have been bloodshot 
red
                             E
I'm looking for somewhere to hide
Could you tell me where I needed to 
F#
go?
D
Oh, my head
                           A
Lately all my thoughts are arriving 
dead
                                E
I drift where the sea meets the sky
Could you tell me what I needed to 
F#
know, oh?


[Chorus]
A
Maybe I always learn things the hard
 way
E
I learn best from my mistakes
F#m
The road I took was the wrong one
D
It all works in the long run
A
Maybe there's no such thing as a 
rewind
E
Therе's no way to go back in time
F#m
I learn best from thе replay
D                                 
I always learn things the hard way
   D E F# A D E F#



[Verse 2]
D
Words were said
                        A
Now even the pain wants peace 
instead
                          E
I bury my thoughts in the tide
Continues after the ad
Could you tell me where I needed to 
F#
go?
D
Oh, my bad
                             A
Echoes of the truths and the lies we
 said
                             E
The ocean, the mirror of the sky
                               F#
Tell me everything I needed to know


[Chorus]
    A
Oh, maybe I can't keep blaming it 
all on luck
E
When I complain, then I 
self-destruct
F#m
Maybe it's me with the problems
D
Stuck looking at you trying to solve
 them
A
Maybe there's no such thing as a 
rewind
E
There's no way to go back in time
F#m
I learn best from the replay
D
I learn things the hard way


[Bridge]
       D
'Cause maybe the learning comes from
 the mistake
Bm
There's no beauty without pain
A
No one said it would be easy
D
We can't undo the things we said
Bm
Even if I could, would you believe 
me?
A
No one said it would be easy
D                                 
Maybe the song we sang was just 
     Bm
out of time
                                 E
Maybe we could give it one more try
           E
One more try
          D A E F#
Yeah, yeah


[Chorus]
    A
Oh, maybe the small violin and the 
tissue
E
Hoping to put it behind me and kiss 
you
F#m
Singing along to chorus of “fix you”
D
All along it was me with the issues
A
Maybe there's no such thing as an 
easy fix
E
In love and war, in politics
F#m
Maybe it's time that I dealt with 
this
D
Finally love takes the hard way


[Other]
A
(Maybe there's no such thing) As the
 free road
E
(Maybe there's no such thing) As the
 free road
F#m
(Maybe there's no such thing) As a 
rewind
D
(Maybe there's no such thing) I know
 why you walked away
A
(Maybe there's no such thing) As a 
quick fix
E
(Maybe there's no such thing) But I 
don't wanna live like this
F#m                           N.C. 
(Break glass)
(Maybe there's no such thing) I 
always learn things the hard way
