Lyrics

The (A)hard est thing I’ve ev er (A)done is (A+)keep be liev in’ there’s (A6)some one in this cra zy world for me.

The (D)way that peo ple come and go through (Dm9)tem po rar y lives,

my (A)chance could come and (F#m)I might nev er (Bm7)know.

I (A)used to say, “No prom is es, let’s (A+)keep it sim ple,” but (A6)free dom on ly helps you say good bye.

It (D)took a while for me to learn that (C#7sus)noth in’ (C#7)comes for free.

The (Bm7)price I’ve paid is (D)high e nough for (A)me.

(D)I know I (E)need to be in (C#m7)love.

(Bm7)I know I’ve (E)wast ed too much (A)time.

I (D)know I ask per (C#7)fec tion of a quite im per fect (F#m)world,

and (Bm7)fool e nough to (D)think that’s what I’ll (A)find.

So (A)here I am with pock ets full of (A+)good in ten tions, but (A6)none of them will com fort me to night.

I’m (D)wide a wake at four a.

m.

with (C#7sus)out a (C#7)friend in sight.

I’m (Bm7)hang in’ on a (D)hope, but I’m all (A)right.

(D)I know I (E)need to be in (C#m7)love.

(Bm7)I know I’ve (E)wast ed too much (A)time.

I (D)know I ask per (C#7)fec tion of a quite im per fect (F#m)world,

and (Bm7)fool e nough to (D)think that’s what I’ll (A)find.

So (A)find.

(A)find.
