Hard To Be Tabulatur von City And Colour

Am                    Em          F                 C
You've heard the story you know how it goes

Dm          Am                          F                   Em
Once upon a garden we were lovers with no clothes

Am              Em                    F                  C
Fresh from the soil we were beautiful and true

Dm                     Am                   F                   Em
In control of our emotions till we ate the poison fruit

And now its...

F         C
Hard to be
Dm      Am
Hard to be
F          C
Hard to be
  Dm                  Am 
A decent Human being 

                    Em
Wait just a minute

     F                 C
You expect me to believe

Dm                Am                F                             Em
that all this misbehaving grew from one enchanted tree

Am              Em                         F                C
And helpless to fight it we should all be satisfied

Dm                  Am                      F                Em
With the magical explanation for why the living die

And why it's...

F          C
Hard to be
Dm      Am
Hard to be
F          C
Hard to be
    Dm         Am 
A decent Human being 

Dm               G         C                   F
Childbirth is painful toil to grow our food

Dm                           G
Ignorance made us hungry

C                                    F
Information made us no good

      Dm                        Em
Every burden misunderstood

Am           Em                    F                  C
I swung my tassel to the left side of my cap

         Dm           Am                            F               Em
Knowing after graduation there would be no going back

  Am             Em                      F                 C
and no congratulations from my faithful family

        Dm               Am                       F                Em
some of whom are already fasting to intercede for me

Because it's...

F           C
Hard to be
Dm      Am
Hard to be

F          C
Hard to be
Dm            Am
A decent human being
