[Verse 1]
A G D
I caught your teardrops with my shoulder when you cried
A G D
I called in sick so I could comfort you all night
A G D
Now you've got cold feet, well just let me break the ice
A G D G D
I did your laundry and I folded it real nice
A
So, baby, why?
[Chorus]
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
Then why? (I put in the hard work)
[Verse 2]
A G D
I held your hair back when you had too much to drink
A G D
I used my bare hands to unclog that bathroom sink
A G D
When you got de-pressed and your mind was on the blink
A G D G D
I peeled you off the floor and drove you to a shrink
[Chorus]
A
C'mon, baby, why? (I put in the hard work)
G D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
Then baby why? (I put in the hard work)
Interlude: no guitar.
(I put in the hard work)
[Verse 3]
A G D
I know it's painful to become a butterfly
A G D
You have to break yourself before your wings can fly
A G D
But still, I wonder when I look up at the sky
A G D G D
If this ain't hell then where does love go when it dies?
Cuz baby, I...
[Chorus] 2x
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D G D A
Then, God, what did I'd to do to deserve this curse?
G D
(I put in the hard work)
A
(I put in the hard work)
G D A
Now I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
(I put in the hard work)
G D
I know it's worthless, but for what it's worth
A G
(I put in the hard work)
D
I put in the hard work
A
