G#                   Cm7
It gets harder every day,
                              G#
but I can't seem to shake the pain
                                Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
G#                       Cm7
It's written all over my face, I can't
C#
Function the same when you're not here
    Fm
I'm calling your name and no one's there
C#                 D#                       G#
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
                D#                       C#
I still can't believe you found somebody new
                    D#
But I wish you the best, I guess.

Chorus:
G#                Cm7                       C#
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
                Fm      D#
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
G#                   Cm7                    C#
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
                Fm
How to make it right,
          D#          A#m        Fm
I wish we gave it one more try (try)
          G#   Cm7
One more try (try)
         A#m
One more try
                  D#                   G#
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

I don't care what people say
They're probably lonely anyway
Baby don't fill up your head with he-said, she-said
It seems like you just don't know. (Don't know)
The radio's on, you're tuning me out
I'm trying to speak, you're turning me down

And I know one day you'll see nobody has it easy
I still can't believe you've found somebody new
But I wish you the best, I guess

Chorus

Fm              A#m
Oh I wish you'd understand
Bdim              D#
Oh, just an ordinary man
Fm                  A#m
Wish that we'd have known
D#
Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
C#                         D#                 G#
And I know one day you'll see, nobody has it easy
               Cm7                        C#
I still can't believe you found somebody new
               D#
I wish you the best, I guess.
