Hard Way Every Time

E C#m Abm A
Yeah, i've had my share of broken dreams
C#m B A
And more than a couple of falls
E E C#m Abm A
And in chasin' what i thought were moonbeams
C#m B A E
I have run into a couple of walls
C#m B
But in looking back at the places i've been
F#m Abm A
The changes that i've left behind
F#m A
I just look at myself to find
B C#m B
I've learned the hard way every time.
E C#m Abm A
Cause i've had my share of good intentions,
C#m B A
And i've made my share of mistakes
E E C#m Abm A
And i've learned at times it's best to bend
C#m B A E
'cause if you don't, well those are the breaks.
C#m B
Should have listened to all the things i was told
F#m Abm A
But i was young and too proud at the time
F#m A E/B C#m B
Now i look at myself to find i learn the hard way every time
C#m B
But in looking back at the lessons i've learned
F#m Abm A
And the mountains i wanted to climb
F#m A B C#m B
I just look at myself to find i've learned the hard way every time.
E C#m Abm A
'cause i've had my share of broken dreams
C#m B A
And more than a couple of falls
E E C#m Abm A
And in chasin' what i thought were moonbeams
C#m B A E
I have run into a couple of walls
C#m B
But in looking back at the faces i've been
F#m Abm A
I would sure be the first one to say
F#m A E/B C#m B E
When i look at myself today wouldna done it any other way.
