Chords

[Intro] D D D D [Verse 1]
            D
Well, after all these years of running 'round

        G
Always    flying high and fallin' down

   A
I gotta get back to the way I was

G                         A
Gonna turn it all 'round just because

     D
And everybody's talkin' about the shape I'm in

             G
They say "boy, you ain't a poet, just a drunk with a pen."

A
Over and over, again and again,

G                                A
Lord, they don't know about the places I've been
[Chorus]
        D
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it

    G
I used to have heart, but the highway took it

       A
The game was right, but the deal was crooked

G                             A                         D
Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
[Verse 2]
   D
I guess there must be something I'm missing

   G
My momma told me I should've gone into easy listenin'

A
Going with the band 'cause I thought it was cool

G                           A
Oh, good Lord, I should've gone back to school

D
Oh, pretty darlin', it'll be OK

          G
You know one of these days I'm gonna take you away

           A
She said, "oh, sweet daddy, you're probably right,

              G                      A
You know we might get lucky, but it won't be tonight"
[Chorus]
        D
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it

    G
I used to have heart, but the highway took it

       A
The game was right, but the deal was crooked

G                             A                         D
Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
[Chorus]
        D
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it

    G
I used to have heart, but the highway took it

       A
The game was right, but the deal was crooked

G                             A                         D
Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
[Chorus 2]
        D
It gets hard out here, I know it don't seem it

         G
I said I tried, but I never did mean it

A
Nobody's listening so we might as well scream it

G                       A                       D
Oh God, we're all outta beer, it gets hard out here
