Switchfoot – The Hard Way (Guitar)

D
Oh, my head

                         A
Lately my eyes have been bloodshot red

                             E
I'm looking for somewhere to hide

                                    F#
Could you tell me where I needed to go?

D
Oh, my head

                           A
Lately all my thoughts are arriving dead

                                E
I drift where the sea meets the sky

                                   F#
Could you tell me what I needed to know, oh?

A
Maybe I always learn things the hard way

E
I learn best from my mistakes

F#m
The road I took was the wrong one

D
It all works in the long run

A
Maybe there's no such thing as a rewind

E
Therе's no way to go back in time

F#m
I learn best from thе replay

D                                    D E F# A D E F#
I always learn things the hard way

D
Words were said

                        A
Now even the pain wants peace instead

                          E
I bury my thoughts in the tide

                                    F#
Could you tell me where I needed to go?

D
Oh, my bad

                             A
Echoes of the truths and the lies we said

                             E
The ocean, the mirror of the sky

                               F#
Tell me everything I needed to know

    A
Oh, maybe I can't keep blaming it all on luck

E
When I complain, then I self-destruct

F#m
Maybe it's me with the problems

D
Stuck looking at you trying to solve them

A
Maybe there's no such thing as a rewind

E
There's no way to go back in time

F#m
I learn best from the replay

D
I learn things the hard way

       D
'Cause maybe the learning comes from the mistake

Bm
There's no beauty without pain

A
No one said it would be easy

D
We can't undo the things we said

Bm
Even if I could, would you believe me?

A
No one said it would be easy

D                                      Bm
Maybe the song we sang was just out of time

                                 E
Maybe we could give it one more try

           E
One more try

          D A E F#
Yeah, yeah

    A
Oh, maybe the small violin and the tissue

E
Hoping to put it behind me and kiss you

F#m
Singing along to chorus of “fix you”

D
All along it was me with the issues

A
Maybe there's no such thing as an easy fix

E
In love and war, in politics

F#m
Maybe it's time that I dealt with this

D
Finally love takes the hard way

A
(Maybe there's no such thing) As the free road

E
(Maybe there's no such thing) As the free road

F#m
(Maybe there's no such thing) As a rewind

D
(Maybe there's no such thing) I know why you walked away

A
(Maybe there's no such thing) As a quick fix

E
(Maybe there's no such thing) But I don't wanna live like this
