[Verse 1]
D
I don't want you to see this
Dmaj7                       G D/A
I don't want you to see this
D
Step into the parlor
      Dmaj7                  G D/A
We'll laugh about the weather
           D                        Asus4 A
How do you hide the earth from the sun
       Bm                     G
Why pretend when it's already done
             D                      C
I'd like to sweep myself under the rug
                   G      A#
But you always find me out

[Chorus]
      D           F#m              G
Being loved is a hard thing to take
       A             D
It's a hard thing to take
      F#m                          G
Being loved is a hard thing to take
           A           D F#m Bm G
I will try, I will try

[Verse 2]
D
I would like to show you
Dmaj7                   G    Asus4 A
Something of my own two hands
D
I want to deserve it
Dmaj7                 G    Asus4 A
I want to have earned this
              D                 A
Where is the sparrow in all the skies
               Bm                 G
That gained by merit its place in life
            D                    C
You are persistent and I wonder why
                 G      Gm
And how do I let you in

[Chorus]
             D          F#m               G
'Cause being loved is a hard thing to take
       A             D
It's a hard thing to take
      F#m                          G
Being loved is a hard thing to take
           A           D F#m Bm G
I will try, I will try

[Bridge]
       D       G
We are born unclothed
       D            Gm
As we came, we will go
         D              G
From the first, we are known
Gm      D   Gm
We are known
       D       G
We are born unclothed
       D            Gm
As we came, we will go
         D              G
From the first, we are known
Gm      D   F#m G
We are known

[Outro]
       A             D
It's a hard thing to take
      F#m                          G
Being loved is a hard thing to take
           A           D
I will try, I will try
      F#m           G
Being loved, being loved
       A
I will try
