Ebm

[Verse 1]
B             Bb7
 All cautions made,
Ebm                 Gb
   every chance was given
B          Bb7       Ebm          Gb
 No effort spared to save what we had
B            Bb7     Ebm           Gb
 All in good faith I would not hesitate
B            Bb7      Ebm
 To extend myself and lend you my hand

[Chorus]
                       Ebm
But you had to play it cool,
             Abm
had to do it your way
            B
Had to be a fool,
                Ebm
had to throw it all away
                                        Abm
Too hard school and you thought you were   here to stay
If that were true,
B                   Ebm
 it wouldn't matter anyway

[Verse 2]
B           Bb7 Ebm            Gb
 As tempers fade   and lies forgiven
B           Bb7          Ebm           Gb
 No cause embraced could break what we had
B       Bb7  Ebm           Gb
 In its place   a storm is liftin'
B           Bb7                      Ebm
 I would've thought you could be more   of a man

[Chorus]
                       Ebm
But you had to play it cool,
             Abm
had to do it your way
            B
Had to be a fool,
                Ebm
had to throw it all away
                                        Abm
Too hard school and you thought you were   here to stay
If that were true,
B                   Ebm
 it wouldn't matter anyway
