G Bm G
It gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
Bm
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
G Bm
It's written all over my face, I can't
C
Function the same when you're not here
Em
I'm calling your name and no one's there
C D G
And I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
Bm C
I still can't believe you found somebody new
D
But I wish you the best, I guess.
Chorus:
G Bm C
'Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
Em G
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
G Bm C
We've heard it all before, that everybody knows
Em G
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
Em
One more try (try)
C
One more try
D G
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
