1. If I said what's on my mind, you'd turn and walk away,

D                         D7                         G        - G7

    disappearing way back in your dreams.

                C                  G          Am               C

    It's so hard to be unkind, so easy just to say

            D                  D7                    G         - G7

    that everything is just the way it seems.

 

F                            G            C                             G           Am   - G

     You look up at me, and somewhere in your mind you see

    a man          I'll never be.

It’s getting harder every day for me

2. I can't get any stronger,         and I can't climb any higher,

D                        D7                                G        - G7

    you'll never know just how hard I've tried.

      C             G                Am                  C

    Cry a little longer, and hold on a little tighter,

D                  - D7                 G         - G7

    emotions           can't be satisfied.

 

F                            G            C                             G           Am   - G

     You look up at me, and somewhere in your mind you see

    I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am.

                       G                   F

It gets harder every day for me

3. I can't get any stronger,         and I can't climb any higher,

    you'll never know just how hard I've tried.

      C - G                        - Am                C

    Cr…..y a little longer,         and hold on a little tighter,

D          D7                 G            - G7

    emotions can't be satisfied.

 

F                            G            C                             G    - Am                G

     You look up at me, and somewhere in your mind          you still see

    a man          I will never be.

    and if it's harder every day for me, I can’t keep hiding this feeling.
