Chords

Hey guys. This is one of the only song's that I like off of John Legend's new CD, so i decided to figure out the chords. Great song from an amazing song writer. I play this on uke, so just play with the voicing on guitar chords to fit your liking. *Note: The D# chord voicing can be altered to your preference, i just put what i play. [Intro] G#, Cm7, C#, Fm [Verse]
G#                   Cm7                                G#
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain

                                Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay

It's written all over my face, I can't

Function the same when you're not here

    Fm
I'm calling your name and no one's there

C#                 D#_high                  G#
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,

              Cm7                        C#
I still can't believe you found somebody new

But I wish you the best, I guess.
[Chorus]
G#               Cm7                       C#
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows

How to make it work or how to ease the hurt

We've heard it all before, that everybody knows

I don't care what people say, they're probably lonely anyway

                        Cm7                 G#
