Every Avenue - Happy the Hard Way
Tuning: Standard
Tell me it's oEverB  
Tell me we finAally made it through
The comfort in siElence turns to paBnic once agAain.
We're caught in a lanEdslideB  
We're dirty we're broAken black and blue
The feeling is lEost in every sigBnal that we seAnd
How can a lAove hurt this baEd?
How could we loAse all that we had?
Why do we foC#mllow through?
What keeps us hanging oBn?
We lived like a stAorm and let it rEide
For all of the tiAmes we felt alive
But soC#mmetimes love just can't make you stBay
When you're happy the hard way.
ESay what you can't sayB  
Say it's the eAnd say anything
There's something to fEind in all the plBaces that you feAar
ELost in the momenBt when it's onAly me and you
There is no oEther place I'd raBther be but hAere
And those are the only times that make the world disappear
Chorus
C#mCan't we see it's time to let go?
BThere's no saving this tomorrow
C#mBut it's just so hard to say gooBdbye
Tell me it's oEverB  
Tell me we finAally made it through
Chorus

Every Avenue - Happy the Hard Way

Tuning: Standard

E B

Tell me it's over

Tell me we finally made it through

E B A

The comfort in silence turns to panic once again.

E B

We're caught in a landslide

We're dirty we're broken black and blue

E B A

The feeling is lost in every signal that we send

A E

How can a love hurt this bad?

How could we lose all that we had?

C#m

Why do we follow through?

What keeps us hanging on?

A E

We lived like a storm and let it ride

For all of the times we felt alive

C#m B

But sometimes love just can't make you stay

When you're happy the hard way.

E B

Say what you can't say

Say it's the end say anything

E B A

There's something to find in all the places that you fear

E B A

Lost in the moment when it's only me and you

E B A

There is no other place I'd rather be but here

And those are the only times that make the world disappear

Chorus

C#m

Can't we see it's time to let go?

There's no saving this tomorrow

C#m B

But it's just so hard to say goodbye

E B

Tell me it's over

Tell me we finally made it through

Chorus
