The Hard Way Every Time by Jim Croce
The Hard Way Every Time
Capo:no capo
E C#m G#m A
YEAH, I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF BROKEN DREAMS
C#m B A
AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FALLS
E E C#m G#m A
AND IN CHASIN' WHAT I THOUGHT WERE MOONBEAMS
C#m B A E
I HAVE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF WALLS
C#m B
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE PLACES I'VE BEEN
F#m G#m A
THE CHANGES THAT I'VE LEFT BEHIND
F#m A
I JUST LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND
B C#m B
I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME.
E C#m G#m A
CAUSE I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF GOOD INTENTIONS,
C#m B A
AND I'VE MADE MY SHARE OF MISTAKES
E E C#m G#m A
AND I'VE LEARNED AT TIMES IT'S BEST TO BEND
C#m B A E
'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T, WELL THOSE ARE THE BREAKS.
C#m B
SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ALL THE THINGS I WAS TOLD
F#m G#m A
BUT I WAS YOUNG AND TOO PROUD AT THE TIME
F#m A E/B C#m B
NOW I LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND I LEARN THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME
C#m B
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE LESSONS I'VE LEARNED
F#m G#m A
AND THE MOUNTAINS I WANTED TO CLIMB
F#m A B C#m B
I JUST LOOK AT MYSELF TO FIND I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME.
E C#m G#m A
'CAUSE I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF BROKEN DREAMS
C#m B A
AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FALLS
E E C#m G#m A
AND IN CHASIN' WHAT I THOUGHT WERE MOONBEAMS
C#m B A E
I HAVE RUN INTO A COUPLE OF WALLS
C#m B
BUT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE FACES I'VE BEEN
F#m G#m A
I WOULD SURE BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY
F#m A E/B C#m B E
WHEN I LOOK AT MYSELF TODAY WOULDNA DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
Yeah, I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the places I've been
The changes that I've left behind
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way every time
'Cause I've had my share of good intentions
And I've made my share of mistakes
And I've learned at times it's best to bend
'Cause if you don't, well, those are the breaks
Should have listened to all the things I was told
But I was young and too proud at the time
Now I look at myself to find
I learn the hard way ev'ry time
But in looking back at the lessons I've learned
And the mountains I wanted to climb
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way ev'ry time
'Cause I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the faces I've been
I would sure be the first one to say
When I look at myself today
Wouldn't have done it any other way

Yeah, I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the places I've been
The changes that I've left behind
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way every time
'Cause I've had my share of good intentions
And I've made my share of mistakes
And I've learned at times it's best to bend
'Cause if you don't, well, those are the breaks
Should have listened to all the things I was told
But I was young and too proud at the time
Now I look at myself to find
I learn the hard way ev'ry time
But in looking back at the lessons I've learned
And the mountains I wanted to climb
I just look at myself to find
I've learned the hard way ev'ry time
'Cause I've had my share of broken dreams
And more than a couple of falls
And in chasin' what I thought were moonbeams
I have run into a couple of walls
But in looking back at the faces I've been
I would sure be the first one to say
When I look at myself today
Wouldn't have done it any other way
