Tough Act chords by Maisie Peters

🎸 Intro:

Bb F Eb



🎸 Verse 1:
  Bb            F
We rode it to a dead end
       Eb
Saying goodbye to a best friend
       Bb              F               Eb
Is the bad part of the right thing to do
Bb            F
I was hard to handle
       Eb
And we burned out like a birthday candle
    Bb              F              Eb
The pictures on the mantle aren't true

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
                       Cm
Everybody knows that a breakup
                                  Dm
Is better when there’s someone to hate, but
                             Eb
You were my favourite way to stay up
                    F
And I'd say that still


🎸 Chorus:
  Bb
I know the reasons
              Gm
Took a couple tries to see 'em
        F
But now everything is through
                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though
     Bb
When all I've known of
                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of
     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow
            Bb        F      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow


🎸 Verse 2:
Bb    F
I got busy
        Eb
And you forgot how to miss me
         Bb                  F            Eb
When I'm not much of who you grew up with
    Bb       F
Oh, you were distracted
        Eb
And the silence made a hat trick
       Bb               F            Eb
It's a long list with a lasting fix


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
                       Cm
Everybody knows that a breakup
                                  Dm
Is better when there’s someone to hate, but
                             Eb
You were my favourite way to stay up
                    F
And I'd say that still


🎸 Chorus:
  Bb
I know the reasons
              Gm
Took a couple tries to see 'em
        F
But now everything is through
                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though
     Bb
When all I've known of
                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of
     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow
            Bb        F      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow


🎸 Bridge:
      Eb                   Bb
And I know that we weren’t perfect
              Eb           Bb
So I hope you meet someone tomorrow
          Eb             Bb
And she's everything you wanted
               Bb        F      Eb
But I hope I'm one tough act to follow


🎸 Chorus:
  Bb
I know the reasons
              Gm
Took a little time to believe 'em
        F
But now everything is through
                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though
     Bb
When all I've known of
                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of
     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow
            Bb        F      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow
        Bb        F      Eb
You are one tough act to follow
