[Verse 1]
Em
The way you held my face,
Bm Em
I swear I softened
Bm Em Bm Em
For the very first time in my life
Bm Em Bm Em
Fist unclenched and my guard started dropping
Bm Em Bm Em
We kissed quick before you pulled me inside
Bm Em Bm Em
The next morning, I looked in the mirror
Bm Em Bm Em
Saw a woman I had never met
Bm Em Bm Em
She looked hopeful, even sort of pitiful
Bm Em Bm
Like she forgot nothing is a given
Em Bm
Nothing is a given
[Chorus]
Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Am7
So hit me,
D G/B
I can't get soft 'Cause I'm too
Cmaj7
hard
Em D G/B
And my ribs are metal cages To guard my
Cmaj7
heart
Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Post-Chorus]
Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Verse 2]
Bm Em Bm Em
I got married once in combat boots and
Bm Em Bm Em
Only listened to testosterone music
Bm Em Bm Em
I had to kill my feminine just to do it
Bm Em Bm Em
To get to you, I had to go through it
[Chorus]
Bm
So hit me,
D G/B
I can't get soft 'Cause I'm too
Cmaj7
hard
Em D G/B
And my ribs are metal cages To guard my
Cmaj7
heart
Em D
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Bridge]
G/B Cmaj7
Always ready for the piano to fall
Em D
Always ready to be left out in the cold
Armor's heavy,
G/B Cmaj7
never suited me at all
But it's the devil, I know
[Chorus]
Em
So hit me,
D G/B
I can't get soft 'Cause I'm too
Cmaj7
hard
Em D G/B
And my ribs are metal cages To guard my
Cmaj7
heart
Em Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Post-Chorus]
Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em Bm
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em Bm Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
