[VERSE 1:]

             A     D
It's hard to see
    E         A    D
And harder to do
     E       Gbm           Dbm             D         E
It's easy to walk away and say the game is through

[VERSE 2:]

               A    D
But it's up to me
       E             A     D
And it comes down to you
     E       Gbm           Dbm               D    E
E|t's| easy to throw it all away for something new---

           C    F  G  Am  F  G
Don't give up

[VERSE 3:]

          A      D
Don't you know
     E         A      D
It's taken its toll
E             Gbm               Dbm            D    E
Sometimes the road will lead us where we never go

[VERSE 4:]

           A      D
Look in my eyes
    E       A       D
And into my heart
     E          Gbm                  Dbm                 D    E
With all of the time that's come and gone, we've come so far___

Sometimes it takes so long
               G               Am
To know what's right or wrong
             Em                 F               C       G
