Verse 1:
The [A] hardest thing I've ever done
Is [C#m] keep believing
There's [F#m] someone in this crazy world for [G] me [A]
The [D] way that people come and go
Through [Dm] temporary [G7] lives
My [A] chance could come and I [F#m] might never know [D] [E]
I [A] used to say, no promises
Let's [C#m] keep it simple
But [F#m] freedom only helps you say [G] goodbye [A]
It [D] took a while for me to learn
That [G#m7b5] nothin' [C#7] comes for [F#m] free
The [Bm] price I've paid is [E] high enough for [A] me [G] [A]
Chorus:
[D] I know I [E] need to be in [C#m] love [E] [F#m]
[Bm] I know I've [E] wasted too much [A] time [G] [A]
I [D] know I ask [C#] perfection of a [F#m] quite imperfect [B7] world
And [Bm] fool enough to [E] think that's what I'll [A] find [A7] [D] [Ddim7] [A]
Verse 2:
[A] So here I am with pockets full of [C#m] good intentions
But [F#m] none of them will comfort me [G] tonight [A]
I'm [D] wide awake at four a.m.
[G#m7b5] Without a [C#7] friend in [F#m] sight
[Bm] Hanging on a [E] hope, but I'm [A] alright [G] [A]
Chorus:
[D] I know I [E] need to be in [C#m] love [E] [F#m]
[Bm] I know I've [E] wasted too much [A] time [G] [A]
I [D] know I ask [C#] perfection of a [F#m] quite imperfect [B7] world
And [Bm] fool enough to [E] think that's what I'll [A] find [A7] [D] [Ddim7] [A]
[D] I know I [E] need to be in [C#m] love [E] [F#m]
[Bm] I know I've [E] wasted too much [A] time [G] [A]
I [D] know I ask [C#] perfection of a [F#m] quite imperfect [B7] world
And [Bm] fool enough to [E] think that's what I'll [A] find [A7] [D] [Ddim7] [A]
