Intro:

A    Bm    E  (x2)



Verse 1:
A           Bm      E
I've never been too sad
    A       Bm          E
So sad that I couldn't share
          A              E
When you can't find the words
        Bm
Guess it's time to listen
 A            Bm      E
Took a lot to get me here
 A       Bm         E
Staring out at the walls
       A       Bm             E
Is there somebody that I can call?
A            E      Bm
Someone who knows where I am
A           E               Bm
Someone who knows how it's been

Chorus:
A            Bm        E
I know you can't talk long
     A         Bm      E
But I'm barely hanging on
A       E        Bm
I'm so tired of telling you
        A    E    Bm
It's a hard time again
        A    E     Bm
It's a hard time again
 A        E       Bm
Tell me something good
         A   E            Bm
Pull me out from what I'm in

Verse 2:
 A           Bm       E
Take it one day at a time
     A        Bm        E
I'm moving everything around
    A          E            Bm
I won't get attached to the way that it was
  A             E           Bm
This is how it works for me now
  A              E           Bm
This is how it works for me now

Chorus:
A           Bm         E
I know you can't talk long
       A         Bm     E
But I'm barely hanging on
     A      E        Bm
And I'm so tired of saying I'm tired
        A    E     Bm
It's a hard time again
        A    E     Bm
It's a hard time again
 A          E           Bm
Tell me a story that'll make me forget
        A     E    Bm
It's a hard time again
