The Hard Way chords by Pale Waves

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D                 D
  We were just strangers
                  F#
Didn't know your name but
              Bm                           A
I could tell you were good at hiding your pain
                    D
The ones you kept closest
             F#
Didn't even notice



                Bm                      A
But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away

Refrain:
                 D                      F#
And lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you
                     Bm                      A
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed

Chorus:
G   A   Bm   Em   D
That you were okay
       A               D
But I learnt the hard way
                       G   A   Bm   Em   D
Thought it wasn't my place
        A              D
But I learnt the hard way

Verse 2:
              D
You left us too soon
                   F#
Such pain they put you through
                   Bm                           A
Only felt safe in your room, needed someone to turn to
             D
A delicate flower
               F#
They took all power
                Bm                          A
And got in your head before you could even bloom

Refrain:
                 D                      F#
And lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you
                     Bm                      A
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed

Chorus:
G   A   Bm   Em   D
That you were okay
       A               D
But I learnt the hard way
                       G   A   Bm   Em   D
Thought it wasn't my place
        A              D
But I learnt the hard way

Interlude:
G   A   F#m

G   A   F#m   G


Bridge:
            G
Pretending everything's okay
             A
I should've taken on your weight
         F#m                            G
Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
             A
And why did that have to be you?
        F#m                           A
Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
            G
Pretending everything's okay
             A
I should've taken on your weight
         F#m                            G
Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
             Bm
And why did that have to be you?
        A                              D
Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
