Chords

[Verse 1]
     Gm    Eb                      Gm
It's hard, hard not to sit on your hands

    Eb                    Gm
And bury your head in the sand

Eb                     Gm
Hard not to make other plans

    Eb                             F        Eb
And claim that you've done all you can all along

    F            Eb
And life must go on

     Gm    Eb                          Gm
It's hard, hard to stand up for what's right

    Eb                        Gm
And bring home the bacon each night

Eb                         Gm
Hard not to break down and cry

     Eb                F              Eb
When every idea you've tried has been wrong

        F          Eb
But you must carry on
[Chorus]
     Bb            F                   Gm
It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight

       D                             Bb
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side

         F           Gm        D
When the accusations fly, hold tight

Bb        F                     Gm
Don't be afraid of what they'll say

D                             Bb
Who cares what cowards think, anyway?

          F              Gm       D
They will understand one day, one day
[Verse 2]
     Gm    Eb                         Gm
It's hard, hard when you're here all alone

    Eb                     Gm
And everyone else has gone home

Eb                        Gm
Harder to know right from wrong

     Eb                F              Eb
When all objectivities gone, and it's gone

        F           Eb
But you still carry on

       Gm   Eb                   Gm
'cause you, you are the only one left

    Eb                          Gm
And you've got to clean up this mess

    Eb                          Gm
You know you'll end up like the rest

Eb                   F             Eb
Bitter and twisted unless you stay strong 

        F     Eb
And you carry on
[Chorus]
     Bb            F                   Gm
It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight

       D                             Bb
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side

         F           Gm        D
When the accusations fly, hold tight

Bb        F                     Gm
Don't be afraid of what they'll say

D                             Bb
Who cares what cowards think, anyway?

          F              Gm       D        Gm
They will understand one day, one day, one day
