The Road Can Be Hard

F C Dm Bb
F C Bb A5 G5 F


[Verse 1]
F                   C
  She told me she’s leaving
Dm                       Bb
  Said she’s not leaving me
F                   C
  'cause I’m on the road
Dm                     Bb
  And I’m not there to leave
F                C
  She’s tired of waiting
Dm           Bb
  And being alone
F                          C
  She said I’m not getting younger
Dm                      Bb
  And you’re not coming home


[Chorus]
F                 Gm
  The road can be hard
F                  Gm   F
  The road took my only love
             Gm
And tore us apart
    C                           F     C  Dm  Bb
And now she chose a new road to start
F C Dm Bb


[Verse 2]
F               C
  The pain gets stronger
Dm                  Bb
  With each passing day
F               C
  The time gets longer
Dm              Bb
  That you are away


[Chorus]
F                 Gm
  The road can be hard
F                  Gm   F
  The road took my only love
             Gm
And tore us apart
    C                           F     C  Dm  Bb
And now she chose a new road to start
F C Dm Bb
