The Hard Way Chords by Clint Black

[Start]

[Verse]
Am G D Em7                 A7  
■  ■ ■ Funny thing about a mind
Em7                       A7  
Lookin' for that brighter side
         Em7           A7           
It's the only way that ■  I can find
   D                   
To let my feelings hide
Em7               A7  
But every now and then
         Em7         A7      
I falter back on old memories
              Am           G    
And I'm right back in love again
Gmaj7         A           A7
And back down on my knees ■ 
D                       Em7  A7 
And I'm finding out the hard way
Em7                      A            A7    D        
There'll never be a time when I don't think about you


[Chorus]
                    G           
And I'm finding out the hard way
Em7                        A7          D          
At least here in my mind I won't go on without you
G                 D        
■ All the times I reminisce
    G       D             
I'm finally realizing this
G                  D              
Until it's gone it can't be missed
Em7     A7              D       
But I'm finding out the hard way
Am Am7 G D

[Verse]
Em7                    A7     
Sure I'm gonna make it through
    Em                        A7   
The sun'll overtake the night again
     Em7                      A7 
Then it's out of my mind with you
        D                  
And let another day back in
          Em7              A7
And for a while I'll carry on
             Em7                   A7  
But what you said is surely comin' true
             Am7                    G   
And although it might not last that long
              A      A7  A A7
The times are not so few ■ ■ 
D                     Em7     
■ I'm finding out the hard way


[Chorus]
A7 Em7 A A7 D D7 G Em
■  ■   ■ ■  ■ ■  ■ ■ 
Em7 A7 D G D G D G
■   ■  ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
D Em7 A7 D Em7 A7
■ ■   ■  ■ ■   ■ 
Am Am7 G D
■  ■   ■ ■
