[Intro]
C   Am   G

[Verse]
C
 I can shut off for
days at a time
Do what I want without
         Am
you in mind
I try to change,
                      G
but it's hard to change
C
When I get it wrong,
you get it right
And I'm just a loner
                 Am
in your social life
                 G
And I'm always late,
and I always say

[Pre-Chorus]
F
 I gotta break these
  Am               G
habits before I die

I just need some time

[Chorus]
 C               G
I'm doin' all I can to be
          Am
a better man
                          F
So, please don't give me up
                    C
when I'm hard to love
                      Em
My heart's a little roughed up,
                  Am
 it can be too much, but
                      F
Please, don't give me up when
               C
I'm hard to love, hard to love,
hard to love
                  Am
When I'm hard to love,
                        G
hard to love, hard to love

[Verse]
C
 I don't wanna let you down
               Am
like I have before
You've got your share of
   G                        C
reasons not to love me anymore
                     G
I drink but I still pray,
                Am
 I cry but I'm okay
                        G
'Cause you forgive me when
 I can't forgive myself

Oh, I gotta break these

when I'm hard to love
                     Em

                         G
 hard to love, hard to love
                  Am
When I'm hard to love,
                        F
hard to love, hard to love
                  C
When I'm hard to love,
                        G
 hard to love, hard to love
                  Am
When I'm hard to love,
                         F
hard to love, hard to love

How to play Hard to Love: key, chords and progression

These are Hard to Love chords by Sam Fischer on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Hard to Love by Sam Fischer is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: C, Am, G, F, Em, D/F#, Dm and Fdim.

Listen for C – G – Am – F (I – V – vi – IV in C major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Fdim need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
