Song: The Hardway Artist: dc Talk [Intro]
G                               C2
Some people gotta learn the hardway

             G
I guess I'm the kinda guy

                       C2
That has to find out for myself

G                        C2
I had to learn the hardway, Father

G                    C2            G
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
G C2 [8x] [Verse 1]
G                            C2
Now I've been high and I've been low

G                               C2
I've been some places that you will not go

G                             C2
I never thought there would come the day

G                             C2
When I wished I never would've lived this way

Em                             D
But I've been searching for a long, long time

Em                              D
I thought the devil was a friend of mine

Em                              D
I turned my back on everything that was true

Em                              D
And wasted years that belong to you
[Chorus]
G                            C2
Some people gotta learn the hardway

             G
I guess I'm the kinda guy

                       C2
That has to find out for myself

G                        C2
I had to learn the hardway, Father

G                    C2               Em
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
[Verse 2]
G                    C2
It took so long for me to see

G                   C2
That I'm a victim of nature and me

G                  C2
Left to myself I realize

G                   C2
I am the maker of my own demise

Em                           D
But you accept me every time and again

Em                           D
And never mention just how selfish I've been

Em                             D
Why must it always take me so long to see

Em                             D
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?
[Chorus]
G                      C2
Some people gotta learn the hardway

          G
I guess I'm the kinda guy

                   C2
That has to find out for myself

G                      C2
I had to learn the hardway, Father

G                  C2
I'm on my knees and I'm crying
[Solo] Em C2 G Bm G C2 Em D [Chorus]
G                         C2
Some people gotta learn the hardway

           G
I guess I'm the kinda guy

                 C2
That has to find out for myself

G                   C2
I had to learn the hardway, Father

G                 C2
I'm on my knees and I'm crying
[Rap]
G
The warning signs are like flares in the night

C2
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire

G
I know that's bound to burn

C2                                   C2
Why is it that I always gotta learn…
[Outro]
G           C2          G                   C2
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway

G            C2         G                  C2
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
G C2 [8x]
