The Hard Way Chords by Mary Chapin Carpenter

_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Show the little _ [F#]
inspiration, [C#] _ _ show the [F] little _ [F#]
spark, [C#] _ _ show the things that drew [F#] me to [C#] you,
stole my [Fm] heart.
[F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Tell me something I [F#] don't know [C#] instead of everything I do.
_ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Look at me as if [F#] I mean [C#] something to you.
_ _ [F#] _
_ [G#] Our hearts are [A] beating while we sleep, [A#m] but while we're wide [D#] awake,
you [F#] know the world [C#] won't stop [A#] and actions speak [F#] louder.
Listen to your [C#] heart and what your [G#] heart might say,
everything [A#m] we got, [F#] we got [G#] the [C#] hard way.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Show a little [F#] passion, baby, [C#] _ _ show [F] a little _ [F#]
style,
[C#] _ _ show the knife for [F#] knowing when [C#] and the gift for knowing how. _ _
_ _ And have a little trust [F#] in us [C#] when fear obscures [Fm] the [F#] past.
You [C#] know we got this far, darling, not [F#] by luck, [C#] but by never turning _ [F#] back.
_ [G#] _ Some will call [A] on destiny, [A#m] but I just call [D#] on faith
that [F#] the world [C#] won't stop and actions [D#] speak [F#] louder.
Listen to your heart and what your heart might say,
[G#] _ [A#] everything we got, [F#] we got [G#] the [C#] hard _ _ way. _ _
_ [Fm] _ Caught up in [F#] our little lives, [C#] there's not a lot [G#] left [A#] over.
_ [Fm] I see what's [A#m] missing in your _ [F#] eyes, you're searching for [G#] that field of [C#] clover.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ So shove a little _ inspiration, _ _ shove a little [F#] spark,
_ [C#] _ _ shove the world a little [F#]
light [C#] when you shove with your heart.
[F#] _
[G#] We've got two [A] lives, one we're giving [A#m] and the other one [D#] we make.
And [F#] the world [C#] won't stop [D#] and actions speak [F#] louder.
Listen to your heart and what your heart might [G#] say,
[A#m] everything we got, [F#] we got [G#] the hard way.
Everything we [A#m] got, [F#] we got [G#] the hard way.
Everything [A#m] we got, [F#] we got [G#] the hard way.
_ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Because the world [F#] won't stop.
[C#] Hang on, baby.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
