Walk-up: 3 on low E string, 0 - 2 on A string [Verse 1]
C                   F
Elbows on the window sill

C                      G  C/G  G
My head against the pane

Am                    F
You've seen so many grow and die

C                             G
But you forgot most of their names
[Verse 2]
     C                        F
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky

      C                        G
And I hope that it never comes down

Am                     F
Unless you're coming with it

     C                G
It's better with you around
[Instrumental] Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 C G [Verse 3]
        C                F
I could drink myself to death tonight

            C               G
Or I could stand and give a toast

   Am                F
To those who made it out alive

     C                 G
It's you I'll miss the most
[Verse 4]
       C                 F
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart

C                       G
I've got a fifty dollar bill

    Am                F
But somewhere in her weak heart

    C             G
She knows I never will
[Chorus]
      Am  F              C       G
Oh love,    it's hard to hide it

        Am  F               C       G
True love,     it's hard to find it

       Am   F            C        G
Though I     was once beside it

       Am    F          C       G
I've fallen     far behind it
[Verse 5]
C
from a tiny room up on Smith Hill

                 G
It's easy to disappear

Am                      F
It's easier to run off hiding

C                          G
Then say "I don't want you here"
[Verse 6]
C                 F
I can't stand to face the facts

     C                 G
It'd only leave you hurt

Am                          F
I don't care much for what you have to say

C                                G
But I'd like to know what you heard
[Chorus]
      Am  F              C       G
Oh love,    it's hard to hide it

        Am  F               C       G
True love,     it's hard to find it

       Am   F            C        G
Though I     was once beside it

       Am    F          C       G
I've fallen     far behind it
[Bridge]
F                  C    C7
It's a long way free

F                   C
You can't tread on me

               B                  F
And in the morning when you're crying

   G
You'll see
[Outro] C F C G Am F C G Am
