Pale Waves - The hard way

^F#mWe were just strangers Didn’t know your ^C#mname but I could tell ^Bmyou were good at hiding your ^Apain The ones you kept ^F#mclosest Didn’t even ^C#mnotice But I saw your ^Bmheartache yet I stayed ^Aaway

And lately it’s ^Dhaunting me I didn’t ^C#mprotect you Your skin was still ^Bmthickening but I just ^Aassumed

That you were ^Bmoka^C#my ^{D Em D} But I ^Alearnt the hard ^Dway Thought it wasn’t my ^Bmpla^C#mce ^{D Em D} But I ^Alearnt the hard ^Dway

You left us ^F#mtoo soon Such pain they put ^C#myou through Only felt safe in ^Bmyour room, needed someone to ^Aturn to A delicate ^F#mflower They took all ^C#mpower And got in your ^Bmhead before you could even ^Abloom

And lately it’s ^Dhaunting me I didn’t ^C#mprotect you Your skin was still ^Bmthickening but I just ^Aassumed

That you were ^Bmoka^C#my ^{D Em D} But I ^Alearnt the hard ^Dway Thought it wasn’t my ^Bmpla^C#mce ^{D Em D} A D (let it ring) But I learnt the hard way

Pretending ^Deverything’s okay I should’ve ^Ataken on your weight Then I ^F#mwouldn’t have to learn the hard ^Gway And why does ^Gsomeone have to lose? And why did ^Athat have to be you? Wish I ^F#mdidn’t have to learn the hard ^Gway
