   Em                  C        G
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
          Em                C              G
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
            Em               C       G                 C
I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick
         Em                    C
And the clouds would take the moon out
        D         C
On some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love - the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burned down this place that we called home

         C
It would all have been so easy
          D
If you'd only made me cry
     C
And told me how you're leaving me
        D                C     D
To some organ grinder's lullaby

Chorus:
      G        C           G             C
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
      G  D           C
It's hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that i go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing i know that won't change

Chorus

          C                           D
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
           Em                     C
And we'll find you somebody else new
                                     D
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
        C                     D
When I bet all that I had on you

Chorus:
It's hard, so hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go
