Sometimes Its Hard
Jamie Lawson
This song has no actual Verse-chorus-structure. I labeled the parts in a manner that suits somehow but I’d recommend to rather look at it as a whole piece. You can of course figure out your own style of picking which will be fine but just in case you wanne get close to the original here’s some advice: Most of the C chords are played like this: B|-------1----| G|-------0----| D|---0h2----2-| A|--3---------| |------------| The change from Fmadd9 to Fm goes like this: xx3113 -> xx3111 e|---3---1----| B|---1---1----| G|-----1---1--| D|---3--------| A|------------| E|------------| The Am7 -> A7sus2 change goes like this: x02010 -> x02000) e|------------| B|---1---0----| G|---0---0----| D|-----2---2--| A|--0---------| E|------------| In the bridge the "F(h)" reminds you that there’s a hammer-on: B|--1-----1---1---1-----| G|--0h2---2---2---2-----| D|------3---3---3----3--| E|--1-------------------| The G7 in the bridge is played like this: e|----------| B|------0---| G|-----0----| D|----3-----| A|----------| E|--3-------| The * is a hammer-on and pull-off from the Gadd4 to the G: B|-1---- 1h3p1-0--| G|-----0----------| D|---0------------| E|-3-----------3--| [Intro] e|-------3--| B|------0---| G|-----0----| D|----0-----| A|---2------| E|--3-------| [Verse 1] Sometimes it’s hard to speak what’s on your mind to leave your past behind To hope that you can find a way through circumstances you cannot control C Am7 A7sus2 A sadness deep into your soul F Gadd4 G That you cannot disregard Sometimes it’s hard Sometimes it’s hard [Verse 2] to get through your working day and find the words to say Everything’s okay when you know diffrently inside You feel you’re gonna break C Am7 A7sus2 Your life is full of the same mistakes And it seems to fall apart Sometimes it’s hard [Bridge] There is no easy answer there is no miracle cure Clouds they tend to cast a shadow over what is pure Rest assured this will not last rain that falls it has to pass And the sun it will shine again the sun it will shine again Fmadd9 / [Chorus] Rain oh rain please go away come again another day F Gadd4 * G Maybe we’ll be a little stronger then [Verse 3] Sometimes it’s hard to be who you know you are To find a place to start over and stay calm and find the silver lining I know you’re gonna come through there is strenght inside of you And yours is a beautiful heart Sometimes it’s hard Sometimes it’s hard
