lyrics

BACK TO THE HARD TIMES

capo III
verse: G C Em C G C D D
pre-chorus: Am C G B7
chorus: C D C D C D G G

brazen, blue on grey
like secrets tucked away
it doesn't hurt you the same & that makes it worse
there's nothing like a parade
of promises you shouldn't have made
& what if you had stayed to hear the second verse?

[PRE]
& all these declarations leave me cold...i'm not sold

[CHORUS]
i keep on coming back... x2
i keep on coming back to the hard times

there's a broken bike in our backyard
shouldn't have to be so hard
worrying at that scar is gonna leave a mark
cold sand on the beach
& cold stars, out of reach
you're trying out your speech as the days turn dark

[PRE]
& all these declarations leave me cold...i'm not sold

[CH]

[SOLO over VERSE]

this little town by the bay
with secrets tucked away
there's a place where you can pray & get no reply

[PRE]
[CH]
