Lyrics

I bought this glove a thou sand (F#)years a go

For some (Bsus)birth day or some Christ mas that has (Esus2)come and gone

I thought we might play catch or– I don’t know

But he (Bsus)left it in the bag with the tag still on

It’s all a pro cess that is (F#)real ly quite pre cise A sort of (Bsus)se cret meth od known to ver y few

So, if you’re in the mar ket for pro fes sion al ad vice Well, to (Bsus)day could be a luck y day for you

And though this (C#m7)meth od is n’t eas y Ev ’ry (A)sec ond that you spend is gon na pay off It ’ll (F#7)pay off in the end

It just (G)takes a lit tle pa tience It (G)takes a lit tle time

A lit tle per se ver ance And a (G)lit tle up hill climb You (G)might not think it’s worth it You (Dm11)might be gin to doubt But you can’t take an y short cuts you got ta stick it out And it’s the (G)hard way But it’s the (C#m7)right way

The (Am11)right (D13sus)way

To break in a glove

Some peo ple say, “Just use a (F#)mi cro wave Or try that (Amaj7)‘Run it through hot wa ter’ tech nique”

Well,

they can gloat a bout the (F#)time they save ’Til they (Bsus)got ta buy an oth er glove next week It just (G)takes a lit tle pa tience It (G)takes a lit tle time

A lit tle per se ver ance And a (G)lit tle up hill climb And it’s the (G)hard way But it’s the (C#m7)right way

The (Csus2)right (D13sus)way

’Cause there’s a (Bb)right way

In (F)ev ’ry thing you do

Keep that grit that grit Fol low through

(Eb)E ven when ev ’ry one a round you (F)thinks you’re cra zy

E ven when ev ’ry one a round you lets things (Ebsus2)go

Wheth er you’re (F)prep ping for some test Or you’re (Ebsus2)miles from some goal Or you’re just (F)try ing to do what’s (D7)best For a (Gm7)kid who’s (Bb)lost con (Eb)trol

You do the (Bb)hard thing ’Cause that’s the (E)right thing Yeah, that’s the (Ebsus2)right (Cm9)thing

It’s the (G)hard way But it’s the (C#)right way

The (Am7)right (D13sus)way
