Key: Cm

Intro:

Am       Dm
   Mm-hm-hm
      Dm
Mm-hm-hm
     Em
Eeh-eeh, yeah


Verse 1:
               Am
Sometimes it's hard to smile
                    Dm
When no hurt feels against us
                          Dm
When the tears are on the pavement
                           Em
Ooh, and I see it in their eyes
               Am
Sometimes it's hard to smile
                      Dm
When the world feels against us
                        Dm
When my blood is on the pavement
                Em         N.C.
Sometimes it'll all subside

Verse 2:
                        Am
Love's trying to be my friend
                                Dm
What'cha gonna do if I hand you my heart?
                            Dm
I think that maybe now it's my time
                     Em
And I can't stand to lose


Verse 3:
               Am
Sometimes it's hard
                                           Am
And I know, and we know, and you know that it's been hard
Dm
  And I learn, and you learn, to keep up a fighting stance
     Dm                                       Em
Will I see the day I don't feel the need to defend myself?


Pre-Chorus:
         Am
But, if I  get caught in the losing race
      Am
Can a mother's hold change a baby's fate?
      Dm                                               Em
I get sick, I get tired, of carrying this weight on my mind
         Am
And with every step that I've got to take
           Dm
Don't know how much more that a heart can break
       Dm                                         Em
I'm so sick, I'm so tired, I can't keep losing my mind


Chorus:
            Am
I wanna be brave
              Dm
I wanna be in love
                          Dm
It's time I stop running away
                                        Em
I should stay, I should stay, I should stay


Outro:
                        Am
Love's trying to be my friend
                                         Dm
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
           Dm
Don't go in, please, don't go in, please, don't go in
                        Em
Love's trying to be my friend

Am Dm
