It Gets Harder

[Verse]
 D G A
Such magic things does a bare heart bring,
 Bm
Rare and fragile,
 D G
Crumbling with the easiest pressure.
 A Bm D
So with great trepidation
 G A
I let in those words you wrote,
 Bm Bb A
A gift from a similar stranger.

[Interlude]
 D Bm G A

[Chorus]
[Refrão]
 A Bm D
Doesn't it feel good to sing?
 G A
When you've lost grip on everything
 Bm D
Open your chest, breathe it out on the floor,
 G A
Or what was any of this for?

[Próxima Parte]
 Bm D
What happened broke my heart
 G A
And I'm sure that it broke yours.
 Bm D
But if you can't feel alive from this
 G
What was any of it for?

[Interlude]
A Bm D G (x2)

[Verse]
 A Bm D
I may have seemed distant;
 G A
Like I wasn't on the page.
 Bm
I showed my best side tonight
 D G
Now I'm crossing over into the grey space.
 A Bm D
Kindly I ask you,
 G A
If we didn't have these songs to play
 Bm A
Would I be such an interesting party
 A
Or just another unwelcome face?

[Chorus]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
 Bm D
What happened broke my heart
 G A
And I'm sure that it broke yours.
 Bm D
But if you can't feel alive from this
 G
What was any of it for?

[Interlude]
 D A

[Bridge]
 D
You can either write it or you can't
 D
But you can't make demands
 A
On a mind with other plans.
 Bm
The hours that you spent
 Bm
With your will so bent
 A
Won't bring the moment back. (x2 before second part comes in)
 D
It never was easy, even if the past now seems rosy.
 A
It takes a little distance.
 A
Your perspective's grown oh so cozy.
 Bm
Sure it gets harder, sure it does.
 A
Everything's harder, when the children grow up
 A
To get what they wanted. (repeat til end on D)
