Hard Out Here

	  		E 
Well after all these years of runnin' around 
A 
Always flyin' high and fallin' down 
B 
I gotta get back to the way I was 
A                  B7     
gonna turn it all around just because 

E 
Everybody's talkin about the shape I'm in 
         A  
They say boy you aint a poet just a drunk with a pen 
B 
All over and over, again and again 
A                             B7 
Lord they don't know about the places I been 
        E 
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it 
A 
I used to have heart, but the highway took it 
B 
The game was right, but the deal was crooked 
A                            B7  
Lord I'll make it perfectly clear 
                E 
It gets hard out here! 

E 
I guess there must be somethin' - that I'm missin' 
A 
My momma told me, I should've gone - easy listenin 
B 
Joined up with a band, cuz I thought it was cool 
A                            B7              
Lord good Lord, I should have gone back to school 

E 
Oh pretty darlin it'll be ok,  
         A                                               
You know one of these days, I'm gonna take you away 
          B          
She said, Oh sweet daddy. You're probably right. 
A                                   B7           
You know we might get lucky, but it won't be tonight 
        E 
It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it 
A 
I used to have heart, but the highway took it 
B 
The game was right, but the deal was crooked 
A                            B7  
Lord I'll make it perfectly clear 
                 
                 E 
It gets hard out here.. 
E 
I know it don't seem it 
A                        
I said I'd try, but I never did mean it 
B 
Nobody's listening, we might as well scream it 
A                       B7   
Oh God we're all out of beer! 
                 E 
It gets hard out here!
