Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - "The Hard Way" Lyrics

_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Show a little _ [F#]
inspiration, [C#] _ _ show a [F] little [F#] star, _ _ _ show the [C#] things that drew [F#] me to [C#] you, stole my heart.
[Fm] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ Tell me something I [F#] don't know [C#] instead of everything I do.
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ Look at me as if I mean [C#] something to you.
_ _ [F#] _
_ [G#] Our hearts are beating [A] while we sleep, [A#m] but why, oh why, oh [D#] why? _
You [F#] know the world [A#] won't stop when actions speak [F#] louder.
Listen to your [D#] heart and what your heart [G#] 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 a [F] little _ [F#]
style.
[C#] _ _ Show the knack 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.
Look, [F#] the world [C#] won't stop when actions [G#] speak [F#] louder.
Listen to your heart and [G#] what your heart might say.
_ [A#] Everything you got, [F#] you got [G#] the [C#] hard _ _ way. _ _
_ [Fm] _ Far 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#] _ _ _ So _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ shove a little _ [F#]
inspiration, [C#] _ _ shove a little [F#] spark.
_ [C#] _ _ Show 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. _
[F#] And the world [C#] won't stop when actions [F] speak [F#] louder.
Listen to [C#] your heart and what your [G#] heart might say.
[A#m] Everything we got, we got [G#] the hard way.
Everything we got, [F#] we got [G#] the hard way.
[A#m] Everything we got, [F#] we got [G#] the [C#] hard way.
_ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ Because the world [F#] won't stop.
[C#] Hang on, baby.
