🎸 Intro:

C  F  G   (x2)



🎸 Verse 1:
C          F                     G
  I broke down on the yellow line train

My sweater got tear stained
C                           F
  My favorite record is a slow jam
G                             C
  Just shows you what a wimp I am
       F                G
I get emo when I watch TV
                                         C
It always feels like they’re talking to me
                   F             G
Broke down on the yellow line train
C     F  G
Can’t lie about what’s on my brain

C  F  G


🎸 Verse 2:
C               F              G
  I know I’ve ruined a night or two
                          C
I couldn’t hold back my views
        F                   G
Family dinner turned off the news
                    C
Stuck in a silent room
         F                  G
And I’d rather die by the truth
                               C
And hide away feeling shades of blue
       F              G
I’ve ruined a night or two

🎸 Chorus:
            Em F        G
Cause it’s hard being hardcore
      Em                 F          G
I’ll cut the lights and cry in the dark more
              Em                 F          G
If you don’t feel then what the hell is a heart for
Em F        G
Cause it’s hard being hardcore

C  F  G

🎸 Verse 3:
C       F                     G
  Everybody’s got the same blank face

Tough roughing up the place
C               F             G
  When you’re not putting up a front
                    Em
Now you’re the crazy one
         F                      G
Leather jackets line up at the bar

Good at hiding who they are
C       F                     G
  Everybody’s got the same blank face

🎸 Chorus:
            Em F        G
Cause it’s hard being hardcore
      Em                 F          G
I’ll cut the lights and cry in the dark more
              Em                 F          G
If you don’t feel then what the hell is a heart for
            Em F        G

  So I’d rather die by the truth

C            F
  You want tears
                G
I’ve shed a few
