The Hard Way Home chords by Brandi Carlile

I'm not completely sure about the lyrics. We'll find out when the CD comes out.


On the verses, in the transition from Em you can do something like

E:---3--2--0---

on the sixth string in between strummings.




Capo on 5th fret


G: 320033
Em: 022000

G
I sometimes lose my faith in luck
                                                Em
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
         G
I just count the rain Wearing the floor through the boards again
G
I wish I could find a soul to steal
                                         Em
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
              G
and we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone



Em
Oooh, follow my tracks
G
See all the times I should have turned back
Em
Oooh, I wept alone
G
I know what it means to be on my own
C
Oooh, the things I've known
G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
C
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
G
Taking the hard way home
G
Taking the hard way home


G
I never did learn how to follow the rules
                                                 Em
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
        G
I just lie and burn Wreck my mind while the planet turns
G
I sometimes wish I could start again
                                                Em
I'd try and do the right things every now and then
     G
I'd step in line, that's what I would do if I could turn back time
Em
Oooh, follow my tracks
G
See all the times I should have turned back
Em
Oooh, I wept alone
G
I know what it means to be on my own
C
Oooh, the things I've known
G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
C
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
G
Taking the hard way home
G
Taking the hard way home



G


G
I tell you how I want to live
                                         Em
Forget about the take, forget about the give
            G
I want to leave this town, fake my death and never be found

Em
Oooh, follow my tracks
G
See all the times I should have turned back
Em
Oooh, I wept alone
G
I know what it means to be on my own
C
Oooh, the things I've known
G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
C
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
G
Taking the hard way home
G
Taking the hard way home


G
I sometimes lose my faith in luck
                                                Em
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
         G
I just count the rain Wearing the floor through the boards again
G
I wish I could find a soul to steal
                                         Em
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
              G
and we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone



C
Oooh, the things I've known
G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
C
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
G
Taking the hard way home
G
Taking the hard way home
G
