The Hard Way Chords by Mary Chapin Carpenter

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