Don't Be So Hard On Yourself chords by Alex Lahey

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C                        Am
  You sound tired on the phone
C                                                       Am
  It's fair enough, it's been a while since you've been home
       C                                                    Am
You say the smile on your face is gone beyond the realms of pretend
C                                                   Am
  It's clear to me, you've reached your limit once again


Pre-Chorus:
F       Am
Oh, sometimes
    G
You get a little teary 'cause you were sick of feeling
     F        Am
That all your time
   G                                            C
Is waiting to be weighted by something you were missing

Chorus:
C
You take off at Cape Canaveral
G
  And pick me up like Coach Bombay
Am
   You're school captain every year
F
  You're Christmas without Boxing Day
C
  You haven't had a day off in weeks
G
  Your voice is shaking when you speak
   Am
It might not be my place to help
    F
But don't, but don't, but don't
                  C
Be so hard on yourself


Verse 2:
                         Am
You don't do anything by halves
C                                                Am
  Don't change, because I've known that from the start
    C
You say that things are spinning around and around
           Am
And you've lost control and you need to slow down
C                                              Am
  It's clear to me that you were ready for the end


Pre-Chorus:
F       Am
Oh, sometimes
    Em
You get a little teary 'cause you were sick of feeling
     F        Am
That all your time
   G                                            C
Is waiting to be weighted by something you were missing


Chorus:
C
You take off at Cape Canaveral
G
  And pick me up like Coach Bombay
Am
   You're school captain every year
F
  You're Christmas without Boxing Day
C
  You haven't had a day off in weeks
G
  Your voice is shaking when you speak
   Am
It might not be my place to help
    F
But don't, but don't, but don't
                  C
Be so hard on yourself


Saxophone solo:
C    G    Am    F   x2
G


Bridge:
   C            Am
No regrets when you get old
F
 'Cause you won't stop till the stars turn gold
    G                   Am        F
You want things done by yesterday
G            Em
  A force of nature everywhere
F
  Don't always have to grin and bear it
G                    Am      F
And even when you're far away


Chorus:
C
You take off at Cape Canaveral
G
  And pick me up like Coach Bombay
Am
   You're school captain every year
F
  You're Christmas without Boxing Day
C
  You haven't had a day off in weeks
G
  Your voice is shaking when you speak
   Am
It might not be my place to help
    F
But don't, but don't, but don't
                  C
Be so hard on yourself


Outro:
                        G
Don't be so hard on yourself
                        Am
Don't be so hard on yourself
                        F
Don't be so hard on yourself
    F
But don't, but don't
                  C
Be so hard on yourself
                        G
Don't be so hard on yourself
                        Am
Don't be so hard on yourself
                        F
Don't be so hard on yourself
    F
But don't, but don't
                  C
Be so hard on yourself
