Bayside - Don’t Come Easy: chords

     D                           Bm
The portrait of a real American boy
                 Em
He keeps his insecurities at bay
             A              F#/A#
The King of Belle Vernon P.A.
            D
He's got a car his friends
                       Bm
and him take up to the lake
              Em
To narrowly escape this town's
Em
like glue they say  Cause
A                     F#/A#
once you're here you stay
    D              G    Bm   A   D  Bm A
The portrait of a real American boy

Chorus:
D      F#m        Bm
And it don't come easy
           G          F#m
He's just working as hard
       A              D
as he can But you'll never
F#m         Bm
know if you don't let go
   Em
Of you to find your
A         D G Bm A    D G Bm A
own identity    identity

The boy became a real American man
The product of a past that makes him mad
And now he's turned into his dad
He still works at the gas station doing tune-ups
"Man I think I had a shot," he'd say
"if only I could only catch a break"
The portrait of a real American boy

Chorus:
And it don't come easy
He's just working as hard as he can
But you'll never know if you don't let go
Of you to find your own identity
And it don't come easy
He's just working as hard as he can
But you'll never know if you don't let go
Of you to find your own identity, identity

The jobs and lovers always came
    Bm  C      G           A

But you'll never know if you don't let go
Of you to find your own identity, identity
