The Hard Way
In The Wild (2023)

(gossage orgue)

  C                                   F
    I learned everything the hard way
    I learned everything the hard way
  F         E              Am            F
    I never listen to what anyone had to say
    C         G              C         \\\
  I-I learned everything the hard way

F            G           C
The road was rocky but I dug my heels in
'Til blood and concrete had worn right on through my skin
And it would take a special kind of pain before I'd ever say
Am                   G            F! G
I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson

  Refrain

My every battle scar could tell a different tale
Of all the times I'd go all in, and I would fail
And I know the house, it always wins and jokers never say
I learned my lesson, I learned my lesson

  Refrain

Am                           F
They like to say "I told you so" (told you so)
C                                  G
But I know things they still don't know (knoOoOow)
E                    Am
So many lessons I forget (lessons I forget)
F                       Fm
So many nights that I regret

C   F   C   F  A♭ B♭  w/ solo

  Refrain  w/ (I learned my lesson)

  F       E           Am (r)          F
  I never listen, and I still don't today...
