 G                  C          D
Any tough can fight, few can play
Any fool can fall, few can lay
Any stud can reproduce, few can please
Anyone can pay, few can lease

Chorus:
      D         G    D    G/A  A    D
It's hard it's very very very very hard
It's very very very very hard
So very hard

Any man can claim, few can find
Any girl can blink, few can lie
Any one can promise, few can raise
Anyone can try but a few can stay

Chorus

Any brain can hide, few can stand
Any kid can fly, a few can land
Any gang can scatter, few can form
Any kid can chatter, few can inform

Chorus

Any soul can sleep, few can die
Any wimp can weep, a few can cry
Everyone complains, few can state
Anyone can stop, few can wait

Chorus

D
Anyone can do anything
         G              A
if they hold the right card

         D                      G
So I'm thinkin' about my life now,
      A            D
I'm thinkin' very hard

Deal me another hand, Lord,
this one's very hard
So deal me another hand, Lord,
this one's very very hard

So hard...
