Intro: G - D - F - C ( x2 )

Verse:
G              D       F               C
I gave you a hard time, I told you the news
G                D                  F        C
There's no I'm sorry's, cause there ain't no excuse
G                      D   F                  C
The things I've been doing, the things that I say
G             D  F                C
The road to ruin, between you and me

Solo: ( G - D - F - C ) x2

Verse ( same as first ):
My reasons for cheating, I don't know what to say
maybe it's nature, havin' it's way
You know that I love you, but that's easy to say
You'd make me proud of you if you would stay

Am                Em     G               D
I promised you sunshine, I promised you, you'd be all mine ( owoho )
Am                  Em     G            G              D          D
instead of the good times, a killer came and took your heart away

Chorus:
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies     
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies  

Verse ( same as first, fingerpicking ):
I was silly believin' my lies could last
'cause sooner or later the rumour would spread
I often wonder how the things would be
If you hadn't found out the truth about that girl and me

Am                   Em     G                  D
Can't promise you sunshine, can't promise you, you'll be all mine ( owoho )
Am               Em    G                    G                 D    D
I'll try to be honest, unlike the first time it won't slip my mind

Chorus:
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies     
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies 

Solo ( G - D - F - C ) ( x2 )

Am                Em     G               D
I promised you sunshine, I promised you, you'd be all mine ( owoho )
Am                  Em     G            G              D          D
instead of the good times, a killer came and took your heart away

Chorus:
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies     
           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies 


           Am                  Em G D
I gave you hard times, baby     
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies 
           Am                     Em                    G    C
I gave you hard times, I gave you hard times, I gave you hard times
           Am                  Em G D
I told you truth and lies 

( fingerpick )
Am - Em - G - D

I look out the window, I watch the street kids grow
Life was so easy when I was that old
There were no lies and no things to be told
Just lullabies and time to grow old     This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use. The underlying song, lyrics and music remain the property of their copyright owners. To request removal, see Legal & Copyright.
