Pale Waves - The Hard Way: chords

D
We were just strangers
                  F#
Didn’t know your name but
              Bm                           A
I could tell you were good at hiding your pain
                    D
The ones you kept closest
             F#
Didn’t even notice
                Bm                      A
But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away

                 D                      F#
And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you
                     Bm                      A
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed

Chorus:
                G A Bm Em D
That you were okay
       A               D
But I learnt the hard way
                       G A Bm Em D
Thought it wasn’t my place
       A               D
But I learnt the hard way

You left us too soon
Such pain they put you through
Only felt safe in your room
Needed someone to turn to
A delicate flower
They took all your power
And got in your head before you could even bloom

But lately it's haunting me, I didn't protect you
Your skin was still thickening, but I just assumed

Chorus

           G
Pretending everything’s okay
             A
I should’ve taken on your weight
        D/F#                            G
Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way
              G
And why does someone have to lose?
              A
And why did that have to be you?
       D/F#                           G
Wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way

Pretending everything’s okay
I should’ve taken on your weight
Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
And why does someone have to lose?
And why did that have to be you?
Wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way
