Tom : C
album version - THE BEST OF LUCK CLUB
[VERSE 1]
C Am
You sound tired on the phone
C Am
It's fair enough, it's been a while since you've been home
C Am
You say the smile on your face is gone beyond the realms of pretend
C Am
It's clear to me, you've reached your limit once again
[PD CHORUS]
F Am
Oh, sometimes
G
You get a little teary 'cause you were sick of feeling
F Am
That all your time
G C
Is waiting to be weighted by something you were missing
[CHORUS]
C
You take off at Cape Canaveral
[Próxima Parte]
G
And pick me up like Coach Bombay
Am
You're school captain every year
F
You're Christmas without Boxing Day
C
You haven't had a day off in weeks
G
Your voice is shaking when you speak
Am
It might not be my place to help
[Próxima Parte]
F
But don't, but don't, but don't
C
Be so hard on yourself
[VERSE 2]
Am
You don't do anything by halves
C Am
Don't change, because I've known that from the start
C
You say that things are spinning around and around
Am
And you've lost control and you need to slow down
C Am
It's clear to me that you were ready for the end
[PD CHORUS]
[Próxima Parte]
F
But don't, but don't, but don't
C
Be so hard on yourself

No regrets when you get old

'Cause you won't stop till the stars turn gold
G Am F
You want things done by yesterday

A force of nature everywhere

Don't always have to grin and bear it
G Am F
And even when you're far away

You take off at Cape Canaveral
[Próxima Parte]

But don't, but don't, but don't

Be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard on yourself

Don't be so hard on yourself

But don't, but don't, be so hard on yourself
