ERNEST - Hard Way: chords

           F
Change the oil when you’re supposed to
            Fmaj7
Drink the things you could make a toast to
          Dm
No such thing as luck, and don’t lose
               A#
touch with the ones you grew up close to

I always thought that there was plenty
of fish out there in that blue sea
'Til I caught and lost the one that
was made for me

Chorus:
               F
I learned the hard way,
                    Fmaj7
No stranger to the long way
                            Dm
Gotta treat her right, you won’t know
                           A#
what you lost until you’re lonely
                           F
And the score ain’t always even,
                         Fmaj7
Some doors are made for leavin’
                      Dm
Take it from me that most good
                                A#
things in life just don’t come easy
               F      Fmaj7
I learned the hard way
               Dm       A#
I learned the hard way

Keep the people by your side
And good friends are hard to find
Only thing that they ain’t making
any more of here is time

So say I love you if you mean it
And go practice what you’re preachin'
When it comes to God, ain’t always
gotta see it to believe

Chorus

      A#
I’ve learned you can’t go undefeated
Life comes and goes in seasons
And everything that happens always
happens for a reason
     F     Fmaj7   Dm     A#
The hard way, the hard way

Chorus

I learned the hard way
I learned the hard way
