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
