Chords

[Verse 1]
     Em    C                       Em
It's hard, hard not to sit on your hands

    C                     Em
And bury your head in the sand

C                      Em
Hard not to make other plans

    C                              D        C
And claim that you've done all you can all along

    D            C
And life must go on

     Em    C                           Em
It's hard, hard to stand up for what's right

    C                         Em
And bring home the bacon each night

C                          Em
Hard not to break down and cry

     C                 D              C
When every idea you've tried has been wrong

        D          C
But you must carry on
[Chorus]
     G             D                   Em
It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight

       B7                            G
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side

         D           Em        B7
When the accusations fly, hold tight

G         D                     Em
Don't be afraid of what they'll say

B7                            G
Who cares what cowards think, anyway?

          D              Em       B7
They will understand one day, one day
[Verse 2]
     Em    C                          Em
It's hard, hard when you're here all alone

    C                      Em
And everyone else has gone home

C                         Em
Harder to know right from wrong

     C                 D              C
When all objectivities gone, and it's gone

        D           C
But you still carry on

       Em   C                    Em
'cause you, you are the only one left

    C                           Em
And you've got to clean up this mess

    C                           Em
You know you'll end up like the rest

C                    D             C
Bitter and twisted unless you stay strong 

        D     C
And you carry on
[Chorus]
     G             D                   Em
It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight

       B7                            G
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side

         D           Em        B7
When the accusations fly, hold tight

G         D                     Em
Don't be afraid of what they'll say

B7                            G
Who cares what cowards think, anyway?

          D              Em       B7       Em
They will understand one day, one day, one day
[Instrumental] Em C Em C Em C Em C D C D C [Chorus]
