Cursive – Art Is Hard (Guitar)

       Gm
Cut it out

                        Eb
Your self-inflicted pain

                     Bb
Is getting too routine

                        Dm
The crowds are catching on

                        Gm
To the self-inflicted song

                     Em
Well, here we go again

                     Bb
The art of acting weak

                   Dm
Fall in love to fail

                 Gm
To boost your CD sales

Gm
And that CD sells (Yeah, what a hit)

Gm
You've got to repeat it

Gm
You gotta' sink to swim

 Gm
If at first you don't succeed

          D/A
You gotta recreate your misery

             Bb
Cause we all know art is hard

      D/C
Young artists have gotta starve

Gm
Try, and fail, and try again

    D/A
The comforts of repetition

     Bb
Keep churning out those hits

          D/A
'Til it's all the same old shit

                   Gm
Oh, a second verse!

                       Eb
Well, color me fatigued

                        Bb
I'm hiding in the leaves

                        Dm
In the CD jacket sleeves

             Gm
Tired of entertaining

                       Eb
Some double-dipped meaning

                   Bb
A soft serve analogy

                     Dm
This drunken angry slur

                     Gm
In thirty-one flavors

Gm
You gotta' sink, gotta sink

Gm
Gotta sink to swim

Gm
Immerse yourself in rejection

Gm
Regurgitate some sorry tale

Gm
About a boy who sells his love affairs

Gm
You gotta' fake, fake, fake the pain

Gm
You better make, make, make it sting

Gm
You're gonna' break, break, break a leg

Gm
When you get on stage

Gm
And they scream your name

           Gm
You gotta' sink, gotta sink

D/A
Impersonate greater persons

         Bb
Cause we all know art is hard

        D/C
When we don't know who we are
