I went into town to see you yesterday
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
but you were not home.

So I talked to some old friends
for a while

It's so hard for me now
G7
But I'll make it somehow,

Though I know I'll never be the same.
G
Won't you ever change your ways,
E
It's so hard to make love pay
Am
When you're on the losing end,
D G C G
And I feel that way again.
G
Well, I miss you more than ever,
since you've gone
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I can hardly maintain.
Am
Things are different round here
every night,
G C G
my tears fall down like rain.

It's so hard for me now
G7
But I'll make it somehow,
C Cm
Though I know I'll never be the same.

Won't you ever change your ways,

It's so hard to make love pay

When you're on the losing end,

And I feel that way again.
"All right Wison, pick it"

It's so hard for me now
