[Intro]

D D/A G D D/A G

D D/A G

Lucky at love, well, maybe so

D D/A Gm

There's still a lot of things you'll never know

D D/A G A D Gm

Like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry...

D D/A G

You're faithful to her in your careless way

D D/A Gm

So you miss her when she's far away

D D/A G A D D/A G D D/A G

But every time you think you've got it straight you fall

D D/A G

You face the future with a weary past

D D/A Gm

Those dreams you banked upon are fading fast

D D/A G A D G

You know you love her but it may not last, your fear

D D/A G

It's never easy and it's never clear

D D/A Gm

Who's to navigate and who's to steer

D D/A G A D D/A G

So you flounder drifting ever near the rocks

It's hard to say where love went wrong

D Dsus D7

It's hard to say just when

G E

It's so hard to say, it's hard to walk away from love

Em Gm

It may never come again

D D/A G

You do your best to keep your hand in play

D D/A Gm

And try to keep those lonesome blues at bay

D D/A G A D D/A G D/A G D D/A G

You think you're winning but it's hard to say sometimes

It's hard to say where love went wrong

D Dsus D7 G E

It's hard to say just when it's so hard to say, it's hard to walk away from love

Em Gm

It may never come again

D D/A G

Lucky at love, well, maybe so

D D/A Gm

There's still a lot of things you'll never know

D D/A G A D D/A G

Like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry

D D/A G

You cry,

D D/A G D D/A G

Whooooa, you still have to cry
